Brazilian Modern Coffee Table Acqua in Ebony Wood & Glass by G.Scapinelli, 1950s
About the Item
Available today, this one-of-a-kind Brazilian Modern coffee table model ACQUA made in Ebony wood and glass by Giuseppe Scapinelli, 1950s, Brazil is nothing less than spectacular.
There are three reasons why this iconic piece is so special: First, the coffee table (swivel structure and glass) haven't been altered. This specific design is very fragile resulting in very few of these existing today in its original shape. The wood has only been repainted and the glass has a couple of dents but besides that, the coffee table is in excellent condition.
Second, this iconic design is one of Scapinelli most renowned, appearing in countless publications, such as Casa e Jardim publications (Brazil House & Garden) as well as Giuseppe Scapinelli’s book (images attached). Attached images
Lastly, the piece is truly a masterpiece of design. The organic shape of the base truly evokes its name ACQUA (water in Italian) and the base can swivel on its axis changing dramatically in appearance looking like a different piece.
The coffee table is showcased in our showroom next to a pair of Carlo Hauner armchairs, a Jorge Zalszupin Pullman Sofa with an Abraham Palatink’s resin sculptures and truly looks spectacular.
This effortlessly sleek coffee table can blend into almost any type of contemporary, Mid-Century Modern, boho chic, or modern environment. A beautiful coffee table like this, will add a touch of Mid-Century Modern swagger to any home!
Giuseppe Scapinelli was born in 1891 in Modena, Italy, but like many of his Italian fellows, he crossed the ocean and immigrated to Brazil where he started a new life. An accomplished painter, ceramist, and sculptor, he began his career as a furniture designer in the early 1950s.
Scapinelli was both a furniture maker and retailer in 1950s-1960s in São Paulo. His futuristic style is easily recognizable because of the curvy lines and soft shapes, inspired by the Italian design of the 1940s, a departure from the mainstream designs of his fellow retailers. His pieces are beautifully crafted in Brazilian traditional wood. He designed and produced many unique pieces for distinctive São Paulo homes. Scapinelli died in 1982.
