About the Item

Pranzo is a dining table clearly inspired by the Lombard cabinetmaking tradition in walnut wood, showcasing Silvio Coppola's essential approach to design; a design devoid of ephemeral stylistic excesses, functional details, and a design intent aimed at the aesthetic durability of the object that can withstand the test of time and use. Pranzo, along with other custom pieces, was conceived as a furnishing element for the famous Milanese restaurant El Prosper, a place that has been a favorite meeting point for graphic designers, journalists, intellectuals, architects, and professionals in the industry for years. They have given rise to contracts and even the production of some of the most beautiful pieces of Italian design. The dining table Pranzo it is available in both rectangular and extendable square versions and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Bernini Bibliography: Made in Italy, L. Massoni, Ed.

Designers: Silvio Coppola was a renowned Italian architect, born on February 7, 1927, in Pescara, and passed away on February 22, 2011, in Milan. He was known for his contributions to furniture and object design, and he was involved in projects ranging from industrial design to architecture, as well as visual communication. Coppola collaborated with various Italian design brands such as Cassina, Alessi, Kartell, and Bernini. For the latter, he not only conceived significant design products, highly sought after in prestigious auctions today, but also played a role in creating important corporate visual communication tools such as catalogs, invitations, and posters. He departed from the obvious choice of coated paper, preferring transparent PVC sheets hot-pressed with a layer of metal. He also collaborated with major industries including Bayer, Montecatini, Monteschell, Zucchi, Cinzano, Parmalat, and Feltrinelli. Among the numerous awards he received, notable ones include the Golden Palm of Advertising in 1962 and the European Rizzoli Prize in 1966. His work was influenced by modernism and contributed to shaping the style and aesthetics of that era. His significant contributions to the worlds of design and architecture are still highly appreciated and studied today.
