Serie 500 Cabinet

Still considered today one of the most characteristic and complete collections ever designed by Frattini, Serie 500 was born from careful observation of the need for a new way of living, and new functions filtered by the designer’s aesthetic sensitivity and his historical memory.

Serie 500 writes another page in the collaboration with the Gianfranco Frattini Archive and a new chapter in the history of Tacchini: storage cabinets. Traditional elements are reinterpreted in new functions. Unexpected compartments open the doors of memory and recall the warmth of home. The first two pieces re-edited by Tacchini, the sideboard, Model 500/3, with three container elements with shutters and the high sideboard, Model 500/4, with two-plus-two shutters, were designed following a concept of modularity ante litteram, which begins with a bench element – a curved wooden base strengthened by a T-shaped element that makes it non-deformable – and then involves the addition of various modules in length and height.
