About the Item
Monumental Metal Table "Karate" by Carlo Forcolini for Alias, Italy, 1985

Outrageous opportunity to own a rare Mario Botta dining or conference table, made in 1986, in mint condition.
This Dining table or desk, titled the model "Tesi" from 1986, was designed by Mario Botta and produced by Alias.
