About the Item
Introducing the timeless elegance of the Spider Leg Coffee Table, a masterpiece designed by Carlo de Carli in the iconic 1950s era. With its striking black painted wooden three-legged base, adorned with nine meticulously crafted bent wooden arms, this coffee table captures the essence of mid-century design.
At the heart of this exquisite piece lies a round glass top, inviting you to experience its unique charm. The glass top not only provides a perfect surface for your essentials but also tells a captivating story. Adorned with intricately designed illustrations, eight children engrossed in various playful games grace the glass, adding an element of whimsy and nostalgia to your space.
While time may have left its gentle marks on the base, these signs of wear bear testimony to the table's journey through history. Embrace the character and authenticity that comes with age, or consider restoring the base to its former glory to preserve its striking aesthetics.
Even the minor chip on the glass top serves as a testament to the table's storied past. Placing the glass downwards on one of the nine arms cleverly conceals this imperfection, ensuring it goes unnoticed while allowing you to appreciate the table's intricate design. See images 3 and 4.
Elevate your living space with the Spider Leg Coffee Table – an embodiment of elegance, craftsmanship, and a captivating narrative from the golden age of design. Experience the charm of a bygone era while adding a touch of functional artistry to your home.
The table will be shipped insured in a custom made wooden crate. Cost of transport to the US is crate included.
Carlo di Carli was born in 1910 in Milan and became an important architect and designer in the 1940s and 1950s working with Gio Ponti.
He became a keen exponent of Italian furniture bringing it to the international market. He worked actively with students at the Politecnico di Milan and Torino and the universitario di architettura di Venezia.
In 1957 he founded the review 'Il Mobile Italiano' with the intention of reviewing how furniture was made and documenting the furniture makers in the various regions of Italy and illustrating their production. This was important work since there was little documentation available of the work of these designers and makers.

Carlo De Carli
A modern Renaissance man, Italian designer Carlo de Carli wove his personal philosophy into his furniture creations. He believed that furniture should suit human movement and the surrounding environment, and each piece was made not only with an eye to form but also for everyday practicality. In today’s interiors, vintage de Carli furniture captures the extraordinary essence of Italian mid-century modernism.
Carlo de Carli was born in Milan in 1910. He studied at the Polytechnic University of Milan and developed an interest in design, architecture, writing and philosophy. After graduating in 1934, he worked under revered Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti. Shortly afterward, de Carli opened a studio with furniture maker Renato Angeli. In 1940, he began a relationship with the Milan Triennial design and art museum, where he eventually joined the board of directors.
Most of de Carli's furniture and architectural works came to fruition between the 1940s and 1970s. His architectural projects included the Church of Saint Ildefonso and the Via dei Giardini 7 building in Milan. However, de Carli is best known for his chair and table designs.
What sets de Carli’s chairs and other seating apart from those of other designers is that they are made to be lived in. As a result, his comfortable, functional and inviting designs earned the attention of leading Italian furniture companies like Cassina, Singer & Sons, Tecno and GUBI, and he played a significant role in 20th-century Italian furniture design.
In 1954, de Carli was awarded the Compasso d’Oro for his Cassina Model 683 chair. In 1957, he also won a Grand Prix at the Milan Triennial exhibition for a chair he designed for Tecno. Still committed to his academic pursuits, de Carli served as dean of the architecture faculty at the Polytechnic University of Milan from 1963 to 1968. He continued teaching until 1986 and continued writing until his death in 1999. His most important writings were published in a book titled Architettura, Spazio Primario.
