Consisting of a bookcase, a small desk and a small chair, this delicate set of furniture, made by the brothers Costantino and Faustino Zatti in the manufacture of fruit wood, with mother-of-pearl and various wood inlays and suede and painted leather upholstery, still shows, in the choice of materials and the preciousness of the working techniques, an unmistakable reference to the eccentricities of eclectic culture. However, the dynamic and enveloping lines that design the shape of the individual pieces and their overall decorative layout, characterised by floral and plant motifs, reflect a mature adherence to the new expressive instances of art nouveau. Study consisting of a desk, a chair and a bookcase. The furniture is made of cherry wood inlaid with shells and wooden inlays. The seat and back of the chair are lined with suede painted with floral motifs.
