Giuseppe Scapinelli, Set of 3 nesting tables, Lacquered wood and glass c. 1960

About the Item

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, fond of company and parties, he became a socialite.
