Osvaldo Borsani

Osvaldo Borsani came out with various versatile furniture designs. Some of them were highly acclaimed, while others were legendary masterpieces. One of his designs that he aptly named the Office Screen was designed in a way that would maximise the office space as much as possible.
The Office Screen was viewed as one of the many versatile designs that had come from Osvaldo Borsani. Its components were not that many as they consisted of rectangular worktops as oppo
sed to modular partitions. Other features included corner supports and ring bases.

At the time that this design was made, several offices were looking for modern innovative designs. Osvaldo Borsani came with this design to fill up that void. Its neatness combined with its functionality ensures that it perfectly fits into any office space. Osvaldo ensured that he incorporated various details into this design to make it as unique as possible.

The D70 sofa which is one of the designs by Osvaldo Borsani can be easily converted from a sofa into a comfortable bed and vice versa. The D70 sofa was hailed as the best design ever during 1954 when it was produced. This design was so classic and comfortable that it was awarded the prestigious Triennale Diploma D’onore in the same year that it was produced into the market.

The body of the chair is made up of a metal structure with a lacquered base made of chrome. These chairs had a variety of colours, and due to their classic nature there are furniture stores that are selling them as collections.

The P40 relaxer, also designed by Osvaldo Borsani is still billed as the most luxurious classic design chair that has ever come from a designer’s hands. This classic chair was designed in nineteen fifty four. The P40 incorporates in its design a metal structure in addition to its lacquered base which is sometimes black in colour but always made of chrome.

The major advantage of the P40 classic chair is that its upholstery can be changed as frequently as the owner might want to. The upholstery is made of polyurethane, however, the designs are not only limited to polyurethane. Due to the popularity of the P40 design, it has been produced in various versions.

Since the upholstery can be changed as frequently as possible, leather upholsteries have been designed, only that they come at an extra cost. Tecno Italia which owns exclusive rights to these designs is always ready to supply a buyer with any kind of design which the buyer might want.
If someone is living within the United States, he or she can enjoy the free shipping facilities that are offered to customers who buy the classic P40 design from Tecno Italia which was founded by Osvaldo Borsani and his brother Fulgencio.

Due to their outstanding nature, some of the designs that were made and produced by Osvaldo Borsani are being exhibited in various furniture museums. Various furniture magazines still feature some of the design masterpieces that passed through Osvaldo Borsani’s gifted hands.
