The design is built around strong geometry and layered surfaces, giving the piece a dynamic presence that changes with light and reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe credenza stands on elegant, slightly bent legs in a darker, purplish-toned wood, finished with brass feet. This subtle colour contrast works well against the warmer brown and black tones of the body and adds depth to the overall composition. The drawer fronts are sharply articulated with raised ridges and chamfered edges, creating a rhythmic, architectural pattern that becomes even more pronounced through the reflection of the mirror above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top is finished with glass, underneath which a special pink paper is applied, giving the surface a very soft tint that is only visible under certain lighting conditions. In the left front corner, the glass has a few small chips. These are fully concealed by the wooden panel above and are not noticeable in daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mirror is mounted with four sculptural, shell-shaped brass clamps and sits partially recessed into a carved section of the credenza, reflecting both the geometry of the drawers and the materials below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination of wood, glass, brass and mirror results in a lively surface with a luxurious, slightly theatrical character.

This compact cabinet is executed with a vertically ribbed front, rounded side panels, a glass top, and a brass key detail. The piece was made by master cabinetmaker Serafino Arrighi, who collaborated closely with Buffa and was particularly known for his finely executed ribbed wood panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe relief of the front doors is a defining element. The vertical ribs introduce depth and rhythm, contrasting with the smooth surrounding surfaces. This type of ribbing is characteristic of Arrighi’s workshop and appears in several important Buffa commissions from the same period. The small brass key is another typical Buffa detail, functional but also decorative, and immediately recognisable within his body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe proportions are carefully considered. The rounded side elements soften the overall geometry, while the glass top adds lightness and allows the craftsmanship of the woodwork to remain visually dominant.
