Afra & Tobia Scarpa "Artona" Coffee Table for Maxalto, 1977

About the Item

Afra & Tobia Scarpa "Artona" coffee table for Maxalto, iron and verneel burl, Italy, 1977. This coffee table is part of the "Artona" collection which was the prime-quality line produced by Maxalto, the specialist division of B&B Italia. The support structure of the table is composed of slender cylindrical columns of different types of wood, organized in a square grid and fastened to the base by means of a plate with holes in which they are inserted. the attachment to the top makes the end of each piece of solid wood emerge from the surface above; the circular imprints obtained, with their different tones, further enrich the design. Afra Bianchin (1937-2011) and Tobia Scarpa (1935) began their long collaboration in 1957. Starting from 1960, they collaborated with companies like Gavina, B&B Italia, and Cassina. Innovators and unconventional thinkers, they developed numerous projects discovering new ways of mixing different materials and shapes. Their pieces are exhibited in many museums worldwide, such as the MoMa in New York and the Musée du Louvre in Paris. Our atelier carefully restored the coffee table. Slight signs of use and time.
