According to Domus, it was the only known table to be cast entirely in bronze. The base, shaped like a slow, elegant trumpet, was cast at the Battaglia Artistic foundry in Milan, a workshop more accustomed to ecclesiastical commissions and public statuary. It is one of the oldest artistic bronze foundries in the world. The historical weight of the foundry meets the modernist clarity of Mangiarotti’s vision. The geometry of the design is pure and intentional. The base widens as it meets the floor, giving the table a visual and literal stability that allows the top to hover almost impossibly light.

The shapes are clean and modernist, but the materials speak to an appreciation for nature and longevity. Nothing here is extraneous. Every curve, joint, and surface seems to serve both function and form, rooted in a period when furniture was shifting away from ornament and back toward essence. Both the round table and matching chairs are shaped with a striking honesty to their materials. There is a tactile directness in the way the wood is used, emphasized by the visible knots and grain patterns that animate the surface with organic character. The table is defined by its circular top and cylindrical legs; four of them, placed not at the extremities but slightly inset, giving the piece a grounded yet airy presence. The chairs’ frames are formed from continuous, squared-off loops of elm that bend into an assertive profile. The meticulously designed backrest with subtle curvature is low and minimal, echoing the curvature of the table’s legs while maintaining the boxy logic of the seat’s architecture.

Already from a young age, he felt the need to roam the world. He was only twenty-one when he left France in order to spend the next few years traveling through England and Scandinavia. In December of 1951, he was living back in Paris, where he met his future wife, Nicole. Their meeting was the beginning of a lifelong union. Together, the lovebirds travelled through South and North America being captivated by the architectural diversity. Back in France, he and his partner Nicole set up Société Chapo in 1957. Société Chapo was a design workshop and gallery in one where he showed his own creations. However, Nicole also presented her ceramics, and textiles here and they even exhibited other great designers of that period. In 1958, they opened their famous gallery at 14 Boulevard de l'Hopital. Chapo's work originated by means of special commissions that could later be adapted to universal needs. Throughout his career, Chapo combined his interest for contemporary design with his love for traditional craftsmanship. In his designs, he was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's balanced lines, Corbusier's research on proportions and the ideas of Bauhaus. The three principles that motivated Pierre Chapo were 'material, form, and function.' He measured his furniture by means of golden ratio and used elmwood as his preferred material. Unfortunately, Chapo fell ill, and he died in 1987, however, until his last day, he kept on designing and working.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51072353075543,"sku":null,"price":41400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50117595_St_P_10.jpg?v=1751206244"},{"product_id":"rustic-round-dining-table-with-benches-in-solid-oak","title":"Rustic Round Dining Table with Benches in Solid Oak","description":"Table with benches, solid oak, Europe, 1950s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProvincial hand-carved set, embodying the perfect balance of rustic charm and a sense of robustness.

The design dates back to 1968 and is rooted in Hein's innovative geometric concept of the super-ellipse, a shape that he originally proposed as a solution for optimizing traffic flow at Stockholm's Sergel's Square. The super-ellipse form integrates the softness of an ellipse with the structural functionality of a rectangle, forming a balance between the two shapes. The table's top is constructed from white-laminated wood and framed with a sleek aluminum border, contributing to its reserved and concise look. The span legs, a signature of Mathsson's work, consist of multiple slender metal rods that converge towards the bottom. These rods are anchored by flat circular disks at their base.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBruno Mathsson (1907-1988), born in Sweden to a cabinetmaker, developed an early interest in architecture and furniture design, which shaped his career. From the outset, Mathsson pursued innovative techniques, particularly becoming known for his expertise in bending laminated wood. His international recognition began in 1937 when his bed design, named \"Paris,\" won the Grand Prix at the Paris World Expo. This milestone boosted his global reputation and led to collaborations with influential figures, such as the manager of the design department at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), who began collecting and exhibiting his work. Mathsson’s designs consistently focused on ergonomics, particularly the \"mechanisms of sitting,\" with chairs that featured curved lines to support the human body and prioritize comfort. One of his most notable collaborations was with Danish mathematician Piet Hein, with whom he developed the \"Super-ellipse\" table, merging artistic innovation with geometric precision. Mathsson’s body of work is celebrated for its seamless blend of functionality and aesthetic balance.

The popularity of winter sports, and with it the fascination for mountain chalets, can already be traced back to the 1920s. But it was in the years following the Second World War that this enthusiasm fully blossomed.

The tables rest on wide, gently flared trestle legs joined by a sturdy crossbar – forms deeply rooted in vernacular mountain craftsmanship. Their edges remain subtly irregular, a reminder of the hand and landscape behind them. The chairs, with their split, tapering backs and sharply angled legs, echo the language of designers like Henry Jacques Le Même, Jacques Vibert, Christian Durupt, and of course Charlotte Perriand.

Already from a young age, he felt the need to roam the world. He was only 21 when he left France in order to spend the next few years traveling through England and Scandinavia. In December of 1951, he was living back in Paris, where he met his future wife, Nicole. Their meeting was the beginning of a lifelong union. Together, the lovebirds travelled through South and North America being captivated by the architectural diversity. Back in France, he and his partner Nicole set up Société Chapo in 1957. Société Chapo was a design workshop and gallery in one where he showed his own creations. However, Nicole also presented her ceramics, textiles here and they even exhibited other great designers of that period. In 1958, they opened their famous gallery at 14 Boulevard de l'Hopital. Chapo's work originated by means of special commissions that could later be adapted to universal needs. Throughout his career, Chapo combined his interest for contemporary design with his love for traditional craftmanship. In his designs, he was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's balanced lines, Corbusier's research on proportions and the ideas of Bauhaus. The three principles that motivated Pierre Chapo were 'material, form, and function.' He measured his furniture by means of golden ratio and used elmwood as his preferred material. Unfortunately, Chapo fell ill, and he died in 1987, however, until his last day, he kept on designing and working. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note that these items are in good, used condition.","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53175545561431,"sku":null,"price":56500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50117917_St_P_5_84d1c71e-f443-4f53-bd3b-2a55cc54bf29.jpg?v=1775046071"},{"product_id":"fler-idler-lounge-chairs-with-ottoman-in-teddy-mohair-by-pierre-frey","title":"Fler 'Idler' Lounge Chairs with Ottoman in Teddy Mohair by Pierre Frey","description":"Fler for Furniture Makers of Australia, living room set - lounge chairs with ottoman, model 'The Idler', \"Teddy Mohair\" Aubergine by Pierre Frey, Australia, wood, design 1969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis superb ensemble, named The Idler, traces its origins to 1969 and is designed by the renowned Australian company Fler.

Designed for a private villa by Jan de Jong, this rare and highly collectible set was conceived as an integral part of the architecture and interior, embodying his vision of total design. The wood is lacquered in a deep, dark green with subtle undertones of blue and anthracite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDe Jong studied with the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect Dom Hans van der Laan and was deeply influenced by him. Van der Laan taught courses in architectural theory at the Cursus Kerkelijke Architectuur (Course in Ecclesiastical Architecture) in ’s-Hertogenbosch. De Jong attended these courses and became one of van der Laan’s most dedicated students and followers. Through this mentorship, he absorbed the principles of the Bossche School, including the theory of proportions and the concept of the “plastic number.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAligned with their theoretical pursuits, both Van der Laan and De Jong valued the design of individual objects and architecture equally. Their approach centers on perceiving liturgy as a transformative process, elevating ordinary actions to a sacred realm.

This movement is characterized by austere brick façades, a rhythmic arrangement of windows, exposed concrete crossbeams, and grey-painted walls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDe Jong began his career as a carpenter and, around the time of the Second World War, worked his way up to become an architect. Over the course of his career, he developed a diverse body of work encompassing various building types. His architecture was strongly influenced by the proportional theory devised by van der Laan, which emphasizes ideal spatial relationships. Van der Laan argued that natural space is too vast for human experience and that it is the architect’s task to shape spaces that correspond to human scale. From this perspective, proportion, rather than construction technique or visual appearance, forms the essence of architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA central principle of the Bossche School is the “plastic number,” a proportional system derived from the golden ratio, which De Jong frequently applied in his designs.","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53874836406615,"sku":null,"price":48500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50119368_St_P_5_2dd73729-0cce-438a-807e-6a7e3f286f17.jpg?v=1787733556"},{"product_id":"1940s-paolo-buffa-custom-dining-room-set-in-cherry-wood-and-cane","title":"1940s Paolo Buffa Custom Dining Room Set in Cherry Wood and Cane","description":"Paolo Buffa, custom dining room set consisting of four chairs, a bench, and table, cherry, cane, Italy, 1940s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaolo Buffa was a prominent figure in the realm of Italian furniture design and architecture. He played a significant role in the renewal of Italian applied arts during the early twentieth century, with a career spanning almost half a century. In an unusual departure from his neoclassical designs with a modern touch, Buffa employed a rustic aesthetic to create this custom-made set, dating from the 1940s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuffa's dining ensemble is characterized by a distinctly rustic aesthetic and the use of natural cherry and cane, an unusual choice within the designer's oeuvre. This quality makes the designs particularly intriguing, as Buffa is primarily celebrated for his refined neoclassical furniture with its elegant proportions and sophisticated detailing. Although rustic designs appear at certain moments throughout his career, they constitute only a small fraction of his overall production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rustic approach can also be observed in a select group of Buffa's cabinets, where sinuous forms and carved fronts evoke the texture of woven baskets. Such works demonstrate that, while Buffa was primarily associated with refined neoclassical designs, he also explored a more organic and materially expressive design language. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite its apparent simplicity, the present chairs, table, and bench remain unmistakably a creation of Paolo Buffa. His restrained use of ornament allows the natural qualities of the cherry and cane to take center stage, while the undulating curve emerges as the defining feature of the design. This recurring motif appears throughout Buffa's work and serves as an immediate marker of his authorship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe deceptively uncomplicated appearance conceals a sophisticated level of craftsmanship, combining carefully selected materials with subtle carving techniques. As with much of Buffa's furniture, refinement is achieved not through excess decoration but through an exceptional understanding of proportion, material, and form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBiography\u003cbr\u003ePaolo Buffa (born 1903, Milan – died 1970, Milan), a distinguished figure in the world of Italian furniture design and architecture, graced the scene with his unmistakable style for a span of almost fifty years. Buffa’s artistic repertoire is notably distinguished by his expert fusion of neoclassical and sleek Art Deco formal elements. Crafted with finesse and elegance, Buffa’s premium-quality pieces were fashioned from refined materials, with the explicit purpose of furnishing the homes of a discerning and affluent clientele. These furniture creations were tailored to meet the demands of individuals who were inclined towards contemporary aesthetics, functionalism, and comfort. Buffa’s creative repertoire extended beyond furniture design to architecture, and he undertook an array of commissions that spanned public buildings, as well as villas and country homes.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaolo Buffa’s formative years were spent amidst an artistic milieu, having been born to Giovanni Buffa, a renowned draftsman of exceptional talent. Giovanni Buffa shared ownership of a highly prosperous workshop dedicated to the creation of exquisite stained glass artistry. Among his notable works are the stained glass windows of the illustrious Duomo di Milano, a historic cathedral located in Milan. Such a creative household fostered an environment of artistic excellence, which undoubtedly played a crucial role in shaping Paolo Buffa’s artistic sensibilities.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuffa’s artistic training commenced at the prestigious Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, and he eventually obtained his degree from the Politecnico di Milano in 1927. After gaining experience working in his father’s studio, Buffa went on to work as an apprentice at the Ponti e Lancia studio, which was jointly owned by the celebrated architects Gio Ponti (1891- 1979) and Emilio Lancia (1890-1973). This experience proved to be a significant turning point in Buffa’s career, as he drew inspiration from Lombard Neoclassicism and was exposed to the ideas and concepts of some of the most prominent architects of the region. He assimilated these teachings and employed them in his own work, which was characterized by a fusion of traditional Lombard woodworking techniques and modern design aesthetics.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1928, Paolo Buffa founded his own design studio in Milan in partnership with architect Antonio Cassi Ramelli (1905-1980). Here, they produced an extensive collection of furniture designs that drew inspiration from the classical revival style, albeit with a softened touch. In 1936, Buffa branched out on his own to establish an independent studio. He made a name for himself by showcasing his work at exhibitions, including the prestigious Triennale di Milano. Buffa’s furnishings were numerous and varied, but always tailored to the specific needs and desires of his discerning clients. Each piece was crafted to perfection by highly skilled artisans, such as cabinetmakers Turri Mosè, Fratelli Lietti, Quarti, Serafino Arrighi, Colico, and Angelo Marelli. Buffa’s passion for design persisted throughout his life, and he remained actively engaged in the field until his death in 1970.       \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53875299647831,"sku":null,"price":64000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50116690_St_P_4_11ea0d51-7fcf-4bf0-9149-8f63c26b5c17.jpg?v=1782737470"},{"product_id":"massimo-lella-vignelli-rare-saratoga-dining-lounge-set-with-table-and-chairs-1","title":"Massimo \u0026 Lella Vignelli Rare Saratoga Dining \/ Lounge Set with Table and Chairs","description":"Massimo and Lella Vignelli for Poltronova, 'Saratoga' dining or lounge set, polyester lacquered wood, glass, leather, Italy, 1964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned by Massimo and Lella Vignelli for Poltronova in 1964, this exceptionally rare Saratoga dining or lounge set represents one of the least encountered models within the celebrated Saratoga series. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe off-white lacquered set is conceived as a composition of pure geometric forms.
