Description:
Author: Carlo Scarpa Dimensions: 74.5 cm (height) x 125 cm (width) x 179 cm (length) Materials: White marble Prestigious "Samo" model dining table, designed by the renowned architect and designer Carlo Scarpa for the historic Simon Gavina manufacture. The work is distinguished by the integral use of precious white marble, a material that lends the object a sculptural solemnity and timeless elegance. The design is characterized by a large oval top with a rounded edge, supported by a monumental base composed of two vertical elements. These supports feature a refined processing of graduated geometric fluting, an explicit reference to the rationalist architectural language and Scarpa's passion for construction detail and the layering of forms. The table represents an icon of Italian design from the 1970s, fitting perfectly into Simon's "Ultrarazionale" collection, which aimed to overcome the limits of functionalism through the use of noble materials and evocative forms. Produced in Italy, the piece dates back to the original production of the 1970s, a golden period for the collaboration between Scarpa and Dino Gavina. The object is in excellent condition, with the marble surface maintaining its natural luster and structural integrity.
