Stunning and iconic "Arcadia 80" coffee table, like other pieces designed by Magistretti and produced during these years by Artemide as part of the resin furniture series, introduces a new aesthetic strictly connected to production technology. Produced in two sizes, Arcadia is made of GRP, glassfiber reinforced plastic, a thermosetting plastic material consisting of a dense weave of fiberglass impregnated with polyester resins. Arcadia belongs to the objects designed by Magistretti based on the "resistance by form" system, a method of conferring rigidity to plastic materials through the geometric configuration imposed on them—a concept already explored in other projects, from the Selene chair to the Chimera lamp, the Stadio table, and others. The performance of GRP, particularly its high resistance to impact, bending, scratching, and high temperatures, along with its stability against weather agents, makes it suitable for outdoor use as well. Minor signs of time are present.

Also present in Artemide S.p.A.’s 1976 catalog, page 130. Vico Magistretti (1920–2006) was one of the most influential Italian designers and architects of the 20th century, known for his contribution to industrial design and modern architecture. Born in Milan and graduated from the Politecnico di Milano in 1945, he developed a style based on simplicity, elegance, and functionality, reducing objects to their essential forms without sacrificing beauty or comfort. Throughout his career, he collaborated with companies like Cassina, Artemide, and Oluce, creating iconic pieces such as the Atollo lamp, the Carimate chair, and the Maralunga sofa, which became symbols of Italian design. He received numerous accolades, including several Compasso d’Oro awards, and his works are exhibited in prestigious museums such as the MoMA in New York. His legacy lies in his ability to blend innovation and craftsmanship, influencing generations of designers through both his work and his teaching.

Founded in 1959 by Ernesto Gismondi and Sergio Mazza, it is headquartered in Pregnana Milanese near Milan, and has become a global reference brand in the industry.
