Dining Table by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Maxalto, Italy 1980s
Description
This Scarpa dining table by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Maxalto is a striking example of refined Italian craftsmanship from the 1980s. Defined by its generous square proportions, sculptural pedestal base, and warm burl wood veneer, the table balances architectural rigor with rich materiality.
The tabletop features a beautifully bookmatched burl wood surface, framed by a distinctive linear inlaid border that highlights the precision of its construction. The softly rounded corners create a subtle contrast to the strong geometric silhouette, while the solid pedestal base adds visual weight and stability.
What makes this dining table particularly remarkable is the harmony between decorative detail and functional simplicity. The brass trim at the base introduces a discreet luxurious accent, while the warm amber tones of the veneer give the piece depth and character.
A timeless dining table that reflects the sophisticated design language of Afra & Tobia Scarpa and Maxalto. Ideal for collectors of postmodern Italian furniture, high-end interiors, or architectural dining spaces.
