Italian Avantgarde Walnut Coffee Table, Attributed to Cesare Lacca for Cassina

About the Item

Little is known about the illustrious designer Cesare Lacca: he was born in Naples in 1929 and he created modernist furniture and metalwork throughout the 1950s. He was part of the exhibition ‘Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today’ that toured 12 US museums between 1950 and 1953. This first major exhibition of Italian design outside of Italy showcased the best Italian designers who combined modernist principles with traditional Italian crafts, such as Carlo Mollino, Franco Albini and Gio Ponti. As little of his work is documented, and he only designed in a shot period in time, a lot of elegant, organically shaped furniture is — perhaps wrongfully — attributed to Lacca. We just don’t know for sure. What we do know is that the listed walnut table is beautifully made, in a lovely vintage condition with wear consistent of age and use. The glass top with etched edges has no chipping. On other websites and auctions, exactly this table has been proudly sold as a Cassina made Cesare Lacca table — and it pretty much could be. General note: Shipping quotes as supplied by 1stdibs are only indicative. We will discuss and figure out the best possible shipment method (and rate) for every individual object.

    By Otto Wach, RAAK
    Located in CULEMBORG, GE
    This stunning R-60 ‘Cricket’ table lamp was designed in 1962 by Otto Wasch for Raak Amsterdam. It consists of a polished metal cilinder with two pins in it, a touch of minimalist genius. By changing the postion of the pins, the lamp can be placed in either a higher or lower postion. Its resemblance with a cricket is uncanny. The listed Cricket lamp is in original condition, wear consistent with age and use. The on- and off switch still at the bottom of the lamp. Wiring and plug have been renewed in the days, it carries a European plug and can be made suitable for use in the USA by changing the plug or using a holiday converter.
