With the Isidoro mobile bar, cocktail hour returns to the home with a personal and convivial feel. A retro element given a contemporary makeover by Jean-Marie Massaud. Isidoro is an elegant cabinet on wheels that opens like a book. It has an external handle and click-to-close mechanism. A valuable item, made with fine materials and carefully studied down to the finest of details. The internal spaces are painstakingly constructed and include glass and bottle holder compartments with mini metal railings. A foldable shelf can be used as a practical worktop. The structure of the Isidoro mobile bar is made of poplar plywood panelling. The exterior upholstery is in saddle-leather while canvas elegantly decorates the inside walls. Shelves and drawers in poplar plywood with Canaletto walnut veneer. The glass and bottle holder compartments are enriched with mini chromium-plated metal railings. The feet are made of plastic: they have caps for the stationary part while the part that opens has swivel castors. A pair of click-to-close mechanisms with combination ensure the perfect closure of the cabinet.
