About the Item

Pi Sarpaneva, a 'TF1' prototype coffee table by Ratti Company Monza 1958. Provenance : Lillo Mangano's collection. Exhibitions: Finn Form ( Piccolo Triennale ) exhibition Milan 1958. Literature: The prototype is illustrated in the book Design Finlandese la Collezione Mangano. Item 41, page 191. Ann-Mari "Pi" Sarpaneva (1933-2019) was a Finnish interior designer. Pi began her studies in 1951 at the Ateneum, where she graduated as an interior architect. While studying at Ateneum, Pi met Timo Sarpaneva, who was a teacher of textile design at the school from 1953 to 1956. They married in 1954. Timo Sarpaneva won his first international prize as an industrial designer at the Milan Triennale in the early 1950s. Together, Timo and Pi were a successful, productive, and versatile couple, especially in the textile industry in the 1950s and 60s. Pi also designed a few pieces of furniture during her career. The prototype of the TF1 table was first exhibited in Milan in 1958. Produced by an Italian craftsman from the Ratti Company in Monza, the table is made of bent plywood and reflects Pi's particular interest in shapes. The TF1 table was never mass-produced and the prototype was part of the collection of the Italian Lillo Mangano and is illustrated in the book Design Finlandese la Collezione Mangano.
