Carlo Scarpa Table Mod. Doge Steel and Crystal, '60

Carlo Scarpa was an Italian architect and designer, among the most important of the 20th century. Linked to art, in particular with the art of glassmaking, of which Venice is the Italian capital, is also his first prestigious position in the world of design, the artistic direction of Venini, a role he held between 1933 and 1947 and through which he brought the centuries-old tradition of Murano glass into modernity. His meeting with Gavina would lead him to create his most famous furnishings.
Here we have a big dinner table made by Carlo Scarpa for Simon Gavina. Carlo Scarpa was inspired by the architectural structure, with the thick flat profiles supporting the crystal top. The drawn steel structure is enhanced by the transparency of the top.
This item is perfect not only in the dining room but also as a meeting table in your boardroom.
Very good condition, fully original. Ready to be shipped.
We strongly recommend a wooden crate for shipping in order to prevent glass damage.
