About the Item

The center table designed by Giuseppe Scapinelli is a fine example of mid-century Brazilian furniture that reflects both elegance and a strong sense of craftsmanship. The table is characterized by its clean, smooth lines and the integration of organic shapes, which are typical of the mid-century modern style that was popular in Brazil during the 1950s and 1960s. The structure of the table is made of a rich, warm-toned wood, that is a high-quality hardwood, often used in Scapinelli's work. The legs of the table are particularly distinctive; they are gracefully curved, creating a fluid and dynamic appearance. This is indicative of Scapinelli's design ethos, which often includes elements inspired by nature and a penchant for sculptural forms. The tabletop is comprised of two parts: a wooden frame that showcases the beautiful grain of the wood and a central glass insert. The glass is a typical feature in Scapinelli's tables, adding a touch of modernity and lightness to the design. It contrasts with the solidity of the wood while also allowing the owner to admire the interplay of the table's wooden base beneath it. The edges of the wooden frame are slightly raised, giving the table a tray-like appearance which is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. It adds a sense of containment to the surface, which may be useful for displaying items or preventing things from sliding off easily. The overall proportions of the table are balanced and well-thought-out, with the thickness of the glass and the width of the wooden frame being in harmony with the stoutness of the legs. This attention to proportion and detail is a hallmark of Scapinelli's work. In conclusion, this center table is a testament to Giuseppe Scapinelli's talent for creating functional, yet visually stunning pieces of furniture. Its design is timeless, still appealing to contemporary tastes, while also embodying the innovative spirit of mid-century Brazilian design. About the designer: Giuseppe Scapinelli (1891-1982) was an Italian-born Brazilian furniture designer and artist known for his significant contributions to the Modernist movement in Brazil. Scapinelli's designs were characterized by their unique blend of Brazilian and Italian influences. He not only embraced the use of traditional Brazilian woods like jacaranda, imbuia, and rosewood but also incorporated elements of Brazilian culture into his modern designs. Scapinelli's designs stood out for their departure from the linear and rigid forms often associated with modernist designers. Instead, his furniture featured gentle curves, tapered edges, and organic forms, giving his pieces a distinctive character that set them apart. Giuseppe Scapinelli's furniture designs continue to be celebrated for their timeless elegance, organic forms, and the fusion of Brazilian and Italian influences, making him an important figure in the history of Brazilian design.
