Ferdinando Meccani 'Circolare' Dining Table or Center Table in Walnut

Ferdinando Meccani for Meccani Design, 'Circolare' dining table, walnut, Italy, 1966

This exquisite 'Circolare' table created by the multidisciplinary artist Ferdinando Meccani (1937-2018), exemplifies the aesthetic sensibilities that prevailed during the 1960s and 1970s. The table top consists of triangular pieces finished with a round side and arranged in a circle. The base is built architecturally by means of four legs that converge towards the center, leaving a cut-out triangle between each leg. The walnut used in this construction boasts a pronounced texture, highlighting the expressive grains and varied tones that lend it a natural and organic allure. This table serves as a testament to the artistry and impeccable craftsmanship of the designer.
