About the Item

A striking example of Late 20th Century design, this 1986 ‘Scacco’ coffee table by Philip Jackson for Cattelan Italia is a testament to sculptural modernity. This square table features an architecturally sculpted Carrara marble base topped with a transparent glass top, designed to highlight the intricate form of the base beneath. Designed by Philip Jackson for the renowned Italian manufacturer Cattelan Italia, the ‘Scacco’ coffee table embodies the bold aesthetic prevalent in the 1980s, a period that embraced sculptural forms and a sophisticated blend of materials. Cattelan Italia, established in 1979, quickly became known for its contemporary and often artistic furniture pieces. Jackson's design for ‘Scacco’ highlights a fascinating interplay between solid materiality and visual transparency, showcasing the functional artistry characteristic of Italian Postmodern design. The table’s foundation is its architecturally sculpted base, crafted from exquisite Carrara marble, a material prized for its natural veining and luminous quality. This substantial base supports a clear, transparent glass top, which not only provides a sleek surface but also allows an unobstructed view of the marble's distinctive design below. This piece is in original condition with visible wear consistent with its age and use, including a minor chip on a bottom corner of the base and light scratches on the glass top. This ‘Scacco’ coffee table is a commanding focal point for a contemporary living room, a minimalist lounge, or a modern office space. Its blend of luxurious Carrara marble and sleek glass ensures it integrates seamlessly into various decors, offering both timeless elegance and a strong design statement. The sculptural base provides visual interest from every angle, making it a functional art piece that anchors any sophisticated interior.
