About the Item

Dining table, it belongs to the Ellisse collection by Claudio Salocchi, who developed most of his cutting edge designs for the Sormani Ccompany in Arosio, Italy. Ellisse, together with the Lia chairs, was mainly a series of experimental luxury containers in extruded aluminium (see the bar unit). The tables more frequently had wooden tops. Those with marble tops are quite rare. The base of the table is aluminium smelting and the support is a Perspex cylinder (with a few very minor scratches). The top is in polyester-finished white marble. The marble shows some wear and tear: a couple of repairs, some minor cracks, not affecting the surface and a slight yellowing due to polyester aging. Though, if sanded and polished again, it will look new. The oval, bevelled table sits six: the size is cm 180 x 130 height 73 cm. Size in inches: 70" 7/8 x 51" 3/16, height 28" 3/4 Marble thickness: 2 cm (51/64) This piece matches perfectly with all the floor lamps of the Sormani collection and with the dry bar highboard unit. It is ideal for luxurious dining corners in city flats. Dry bar, the whole idea of the Ellisse collection was to use extruded aluminium as main feature: three extruded pieces to form a whole series of high class containers used as bar units, chests of drawers and tilt-door wall-mounted sideboards. This double-sided bar unit is a clear example of how industrial design was conceived in 1967, the vault of the space age. The block is two-sided and has one lower unit, with four aluminium drawers on one side and four on the opposite. A perfect highlight for your lounge, sitting or dining room. The upper side has a tilt door on front and back, with a brake and a magnet. Inside each compartment, a movable, H-shaped shelving unit in HPL-like material. The drawers in the lower part (with upper and lower side in white lacquered wood and sides in aluminium) have aluminium fronts and HPL and wooden sides. The upper part has aluminium sides and the rest is white mat lacquered wood. The full size in cm is height 100 x 93 x 93 (in inches height 39" 3/8 x 36" 39/64 x 36" 39/64). Lower container is on castors and can be moved around the room. The piece can be divided in two parts: upper and lower. In this case, the lower part would need extra feet or castors). It is usually best displayed in the middle of a room or to divide the dining area from the living room. It is in perfect condition. Because of the characteristic of the materials, the lower drawers are a little hard to pull. The pieces come with a "Certificate of Authenticity" on original letterhead of the Manufacturer.
