Bau
Sorage cabinet / by Migliore+Servetto
Bau is born from a dialogue between memory and contemporaneity. Drawing on the Piedmontese cabinetmaking tradition of the interwar years, Migliore+Servetto reinterprets a rich heritage through a composition of stacked volumes that offers a fresh take on the solidity and understated elegance of the Savoy tradition.
Savoy Heritage
For Bau, Migliore+Servetto looks to the past, specifically to the Piedmontese cabinetmaking tradition that flourished between the two World Wars, to create a storage piece that reimagines a classic expression of Italian craftsmanship through a contemporary lens. Its presence is defined by a composition of stacked volumes, evoking the sense of solidity, balance, and restraint traditionally associated with Savoy culture.
Almost like a miniature architectural structure, Bau is designed to inhabit space with quiet confidence and timeless poise. The cabinet is articulated through doors with softly rounded corners and is entirely clad in lacquered wood with a metallic finish that enhances the depth and richness of the material. The sole exception is the base, which incorporates a single marble drawer, introducing a refined note of preciousness that complements the rigor of the overall design.
Subtle recesses between the various elements create a delicate interplay of light and shadow, animating the surface and lending the piece a quiet dynamism that shifts throughout the day as the light changes.
Quiet Intimacy
Despite its solid presence, Bau has a discreet soul, like a private casket that protects more than it reveals. It is a piece designed to accompany the most intimate moments of everyday life: it fits naturally in a bedroom, a living space, or a secluded corner of the home, where its soft, symmetrical form becomes a quiet guardian of daily objects.
The surfaces, cool in the marble and warmed by the metallic interpretation of wood, create a subtle sensory contrast revealed both to the eye and to the touch.
In this identity, poised between solidity and lightness, memory and contemporaneity, lies the essence of the project: a dialogue between different eras, finding its most refined expression of elegance in balance and proportion.
