Ilmari Tapiovaara Italian dining table, with certificate

About the Item

In the quiet embrace of the 1950s, Ilmari Tapiovaara created a dining table that has since become a timeless masterpiece: a symphony of wood that resonates with the soul of essential design. Behold a creation where form dances with function, where every line is a whisper of perspective and every angle is a tribute to precision. As we approach, the table beckons with its understated elegance, a visual poem etched in wood. It is not just a table, it is a canvas of geometric dreams. The very essence of perspective and perpendicularity intertwine, creating a visual journey that draws you in, inviting you to explore every facet of its design. Two pedestals made from four posts, sturdy yet graceful, stand as sentinels of elegance. The square tubular wood, an unexpected choice, emerges as a master of geometric play. They playfully interact, converging and diverging in a harmonious rhythm. When your eyes trace their lines, you are enveloped in a ballet of shapes, a celebration of the marriage of structure and aesthetics. But it's the base that truly steals the spotlight—a masterpiece of unity and artistry. A single sheet of wood connects the pedestals, a bridge of cohesion that defies gravity with grace. And the feet, aligned with the very heart of its structure, echo the table's commitment to symmetry, to a design that is not just functional but harmonious. Oh, and the sides—a revelation of subtlety and grace. The hollow carved into the wood is a kiss of softness, a gentle caress that tempers the table's rigor with a touch of humanity. Signs of time's passage grace the surface, a testament to its journey through history. These marks, like wrinkles on a beloved face, add character and depth, a story etched into the very fibers of its being. Place it in a room with a character as bold as its design—a space that reveres the essence of simplicity and the beauty of form. Here, it thrives as a centerpiece, a beacon of essential design that casts a spell on all who gather around. This table is not just a piece of furniture; it's an invitation to experience design in its purest form
