Giuseppe Scapinelli. Dining room table, 1958. Movelena Moveis label

As usual, Scapinelli distinguishes himself with these nesting tables "gigogne" by the elegance of the lines and the finesse of the realization. Made of solid wood (probably Pau marfim, one of his favourite species), the light and graceful base combined with the glass of the tops gives the whole an airy aspect reinforced by the dynamism of the three pieces. Provenance: Private Collection - Brazil. Born in 1911 in Modena, Italy, Giuseppe Scapinelli is a versatile artist. An architect, painter, ceramist, sculptor and designer, he constantly reinvents himself in search of beauty, whatever the medium. In the post-war context, with his diploma in architecture obtained in 1941 and his immense imagination in his luggage, he organized his departure for Brazil in 1948. In 1950, he founded his own architectural firm in Sao Paulo, where he enjoyed success and rubbed shoulders with high society. A perfect Italian dandy, bon vivant...

Giuseppe Scapinelli was known as a designer who successfully combined “the classic” with “the modern”, and this table stands as evidence. Scapinelli was a Brazilian designer from São Paulo who did not use any means of mass production. His furniture alternated and combined elements from Italian classicism, innovative aerodynamic lines, and biomorphic shapes. This rare circular table has an amazing construction that praises the firm, Angelini & Delneri. Upon first sight, this model is an elegant circular table made of beautifully grained wood. However, when the table is extended, the elaborate system is revealed by which the extra wooden leaves can be added to extend the length. The artisanal level craftsmanship is as stunning as the design itself, with traditional joinery techniques such as pegs and so-called ‘biscuit’ joints. Besides the extension system, the craftsmanship is also evident in every edge and angle, such as the legs’ curve and the ring strengthening them. This table is very successful at balancing large volumes with clean lines. The legs have rounded edges and are slightly splayed below the wooden ring. This memorable design is from a designer committed to pushing the boundaries of modernist design in Brazil. The form is functional and elegant with subtle flourishes like intricate wooden details and the evident emphasis on functionality. This dining table is a grand piece that will stand out and add character to any interior. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Dimensions: 47.24 in Ø x 28.34 in H 120 cm Ø x 72 cm H About the designer: Giuseppe Scapinelli was born in Reggio Emilia in Italy on the 2nd of July 1911 and was the 6th of thirteen sons.
