Rare Mario Ravegnani Morosini Dining Table in Ash and Glass

About the Item

Mario Ravegnani Morosini, dining table, stained ash, lacquered wood, glass, Italy, 1950s Italian architect Mario Ravegnani Morosini conceived this table, exemplifying the mid-century modern tendencies with focus on utility, logical forms, and clean aesthetics. The table features a sleek profile with an open-frame design. Its refined and lightweight silhouette is achieved through this design approach, which imparts an airy quality, reducing bulkiness and enhancing its inviting nature. Despite its delicate appearance, the table is sturdy and built to endure. Characterized by a well-defined geometric structure, the wooden frames are executed in ash with side supportive beams executed in black lacquered wood, emphasizing its pure lines. The glass top further enhances its modest and clear allure. Mario Ravegnani Morosini (1922-1984) was a seminal figure in architecture, particularly influential in Rimini and its surroundings. Born in Rimini in 1922, he grew up in an artistic environment. His grandfather, Riccardo Ravegnani, served as president of the Società Anonima Cooperativa di Case Popolare for nearly three decades, overseeing the construction of 123 buildings until 1938. After completing his classical studies, Ravegnani enrolled in the Faculty of Engineering. Following World War II, he graduated with degrees in Engineering from Bologna and in Architecture from Milan. Recognizing the limitations of a war-torn provincial city, he chose to remain in the dynamic Lombard metropolis, a hub for new ideas and innovations. Ravegnani quickly distinguished himself in the Italian architectural scene. He, along with friends and colleagues, established the studio B24, which became a venue for contemporary art exhibitions and events. His vision was to achieve an integrated blend of the arts, fostering close collaboration between architects, painters, and sculptors. One of his most groundbreaking projects was the Casa Sperimentale (Experimental House), developed in collaboration with Antonello Vincenti and Bobi Brunori. This prefabricated house, designed with standard elements, was experimental in its use of new materials and its innovative approach to home design rather a traditional one. It was conceived for flexible use in various settings such as the countryside, mountains, and seaside, and could be easily disassembled and reassembled. The Casa Sperimentale's design emphasized mobility and maximized internal space. Large panoramic windows expanded the horizontal plane, while transparent Perspex surfaces on the roof and shelter extended the space vertically, ensuring maximum contact with nature. Ravegnani believed that the finest architecture throughout history was built in harmony with its environment, irrespective of the era or style of the construction.
