Giovanni Ferrabini Large Dining Table in Metal and Top Travertine '50s

Description
Giovanni Ferrabini was a modernist architect, designer, and artist whose creative output and prominence centered on his prolific career as a sculptor. As a designer, he mostly created furniture made out of metal, glass, and wood—bare and diaphanous structures in which metal structures were used as support and are the essence of the aesthetic vocabulary.
This dining or center table exactly takes inspiration by this theme: you may see a table suspended on a very light metal structure, made as a grid system, covered then by a travertine top. It seems that the author wanted to set in opposition the light against the heavy and even if the heavy is on the top, the system does not collapse.
The table can be dismantled in metal structure and top for trasnport.
Good condition, fully original.
