Unica Sideboard

Displayed at this year’s Marmomacc, “Unica” sideboard is designed by Michele Cazzani for Franchi Umberto Marmi. With stunning architectural form, the company says the sideboard – also called a console – is not simply a piece of furniture. It’s designed as an integral part of the architecture of the home.
