Giuseppe Scapinelli, Table-Gardener "Costela", circa 1960

About the Item

This table inspired by the coffee table model "Aranha", an iconic piece by Scapinelli, the artist gives here a different version presenting in its center a location for a planter. Resting on four curved legs, the structure is designed according to its style in rounded wood, for which Scapinelli chooses with this piece two different species, the Mogno and the Pau Marfim, in order to obtain a pleasant contrast of shade that gives dynamism to this table. The glass top is cut in its center to accommodate the space used to place a plant. With this very original design, Scapinelli knows how to reinvent itself and distinguish itself with elegance, a characteristic that can be found in all his creations.

  • Giuseppe Scapinelli, Nesting Tables, 1960
    By Giuseppe Scapinelli
    Located in PARIS, FR
    As usual, Scapinelli distinguishes himself with these nesting tables "gigogne" by the elegance of the lines and the finesse of the realization. Made of solid wood (probably Pau marfim, one of his favourite species), the light and graceful base combined with the glass of the tops gives the whole an airy aspect reinforced by the dynamism of the three pieces. Provenance: Private Collection - Brazil. Born in 1911 in Modena, Italy, Giuseppe Scapinelli is a versatile artist. An architect, painter, ceramist, sculptor and designer, he constantly reinvents himself in search of beauty, whatever the medium. In the post-war context, with his diploma in architecture obtained in 1941 and his immense imagination in his luggage, he organized his departure for Brazil in 1948. In 1950, he founded his own architectural firm in Sao Paulo, where he enjoyed success and rubbed shoulders with high society. A perfect Italian dandy, bon vivant...
