Observe the fourth photo on this page, which is a computer simulation imagining the works in a high-end modern interior design context. It reveals a "modernity," a luminosity, and an abstraction astounding for works conceived over two centuries ago. Adding a great touch of class and elegance to the ensemble. The high Viennese cabinetmaking of the Neoclassical period (1770-1830), with its sober and minimalist elegance and precious, light-colored woods, blends very well with contemporary modern design lines.
Unique pieces, perfect as focal points in high-level contemporary interiors.
