Italian Tables

This lovely round table is one of 7 limestone tables that were reclaimed from a 1930's private Italian Villa prior to rennovating. We love the texture, color and distressed patina on this naturally aged beauty. No breaks or cracks are present as this item was apparently well preserved throughout the years.

The 1930s in Italy are also referred to as the 'decade of contradiction'. On the one hand, urban planning, architecture, decoration were all dictated by the rhetoric of the regime.

It is also the decade in which an idea of ??industrial design is affirmed, the 'reproducible beauty', which van be seen for example in Gio Ponti's early works. Osvaldo Borsani, still a student at the time, was among those protagonists who looked beyond the present. He was best known for his research-based approach to making furniture. This dining table was designed by Borsani in the late 1930s, shortly after his graduation from the Politecnico di Milano.

Secondly, the sculptural legs are unique even in Borsani’s wide repertoire of furniture. The structure is made of solid walnut, with a rectangular black glass top that can be extended, making this a perfect dining table.

While glass is often perceived as a fragile material on furniture, on this table it doesn’t appear to be. It complements the sturdy look of the solid wood body, adding a layer of style. It also matches well with the walnut’s colour scheme. While marble and glass top tables...
