About the Item
Sculpted Velocity: Giancarlo Vegni's "Rolling-2b" and the Luxury of Line
This "Rolling-2b" Oval Table by Italian designer Giancarlo Vegni is a masterful study in materials and movement, transforming a piece of utilitarian furniture into a dynamic architectural sculpture. Crafted in Italy in the early 21st century, it epitomizes the luxurious, refined side of contemporary Italian design.
Historical Context: The Italian Return to Materials
The "Rolling-2b" table operates within the rich continuum of post-war Italian design, which has consistently blended industrial innovation with high-level craftsmanship:
Post-Modern Elegance (1980s–Present):
While the preceding "Radical Design" movements like Memphis (1980s) embraced provocative, colorful plastics, the early 21st century saw a renewed focus on timeless luxury materials and enduring forms. Vegni’s design, characterized by clean lines, geometric forms, and a predilection for round shapes, aligns with this refined aesthetic (VegniDesign, n.d.). It shuns transient trends in favor of an imperishable product that resists the passing of time (Italy Dream Design, n.d.).
The Fusion of "Hard" and "Soft": The table’s aesthetic power lies in its striking material contrast. The sleek, cool smoked glass top and polished stainless steel bases represent the clean, rational language of Modernism. This is dramatically juxtaposed with the warmth and texture of the natural leather columns. This intentional spiraling wrap—secured with visible, hand-stitched seams—introduces a vital element of artisan craft, sensuality, and movement to the otherwise static steel core. The contrast between the rigid, industrial materials and the supple, hand-finished leather is a hallmark of high-end Italian furniture design.
Architecture in Furniture: Designer Giancarlo Vegni, whose career includes significant architectural collaborations and awards (such as the selection for the Compasso d'oro), often brings an architect's sensibility to furniture. The table's monumental, column-like bases and substantial oval top give the piece a classical, architectural gravitas, even as the "rolling" lines of the leather wrap inject a sense of dynamic energy. The design is less about simple function and more about creating a compelling homage to the matter itself (Italy Dream Design, n.d.).
Measuring an expansive 216 cm wide, the "Rolling-2b" is a powerful statement piece—equally suited for use as an executive conference table or an elegant dining table—that showcases the unwavering commitment of Italian design to quality, geometry, and the artful interaction of texture and form.
