The buffet designed by architect Bruno Paul, with its pure, rigorous and austere geometric shape, without any decorative motifs and marked by the overlapping convex bands, was exhibited in 1928 in the German section at the Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art at Macy's department store in New York. Published in “Domus” magazine, it was particularly praised by Gio Ponti for its original chromatic harmony, achieved through the unprecedented juxtaposition of ochre-pistachio with the silver of the outlines and the white of the marble slab. Buffet with an elongated shape realized in painted wood and marble. The furniture is devoid of decorative motifs but attracts attention by the convex volumes of the greenish wood bands contrasted with the lines of white marble.
