Mario Bellini "Colonnato" marble table by Cassina, Italy, 1977
-
Description
A beautiful and well preserved Colonnato table in Persian red travertine marble, design by Mario Bellini, produced by Cassina, 1977.
In this table, the noble Persian red travertine marble reveals its full aesthetic potential. A material used since antiquity in sculpture and highly prized by Imperial Rome, it continues to captivate today with its intense red hue, golden undertones, and remarkable chromatic depth. Rich in history and classical appeal, this marble was chosen by Mario Bellini for the design of the Colonnato table, produced by Cassina in the 1970s.
A striking visual tension defines the piece: the contrast between the thin, elegant tabletop and the four massive column-like supports beneath it. The top, only a few centimeters thick, appears almost like a sheet of marble—so refined it seems to defy the material's usual weight and monumentality. In contrast, the base—composed of four cylindrical pillars—offers a direct architectural reference to classical antiquity.
Mario Bellini is no stranger to such refined design language. His career is marked by a consistent dialogue between past and present, bridging disciplines that range from architecture to publishing, from the restoration of historic buildings to the invention of revolutionary objects. Among his iconic creations is the Olivetti P101, designed in 1965—one of the world’s first personal computers.
