Centro Progetti Tecno, dining table model 'T334A', lacquered wood, aluminum, Italy, 1975-1978
Round dining table with a black lacquered wooden top that has an incredibly soft texture. The tabletop is mounted on a three-legged metal frame in aluminum, contributing to the unit's constructive and open appearance.
Centro Progetti Tecno (CPT) originated within Tecno as a separate institution that focused on industrial and communication design. Marco Fantoni was the leading figure supported by other principal colleagues in the company, such as Osvaldo & Valeria Borsani, Enrico Regondi, Kugo Toru, Signor Grassi, Roberto Davoli, and Eugenio Gerli. They strongly believed in team spirit and disguised putting the designer names on items. Therefore, all pieces of furniture created within Tecno be presented as the creation of the team.
Afra and Tobia Scarpa for B&B Italia, set of twelve Dialogo Dessau dining chairs, chromed metal, plastic, Italy, 1974
The Dialogo Dessau chair, with its distinctive cantilevered base and integrated armrests, showcases the Scarpa duo's commitment to form and function. The chairs feature a meticulously crafted backrest and seat, fashioned from sleek black molded plastic, adding a touch of sophistication to the classic Bauhaus aesthetic. This creation exemplifies the Scarpa couple's ability to infuse a 1970s twist into timeless design principles, leaving an indelible mark on the world of furniture design.
Afra (1937-2011) & Tobia (1935-) Scarpa are a duo of Italian architects and designers mostly known for their postmodern style. Afra Bianchin was born in 1937 in Montebelluna while Tobia Scarpa, son of the architect Carlo Scarpa, was born in 1935 in Venice. The couple met when they were both studying at the Venice Institute of Architecture and married afterwards. From 1957 until 1961, Tobia worked as a glass designer at the Murano glassworks of Venini. However, in 1960, the duo started to collaborate, and they set up one of the most successful and well-known professional studios. Together, they worked for companies such as Flos Gavina, B&B Italia, and Knoll. The couple won numerous amounts of awards like the Compasso d’Oro and the International Forum Design. Throughout their career, the duo carried out commissions for well-known companies, including Benetton. Overall, their designs are known for their modernist aesthetic, prioritizing elegance and comfort. However, at the same time, their pieces are admired for the ease with which they lean towards classical designs. Moreover, the creations show their deep understanding for materials. Today, many of their works can be found in major museums such as Museum of Modern Art of New York, Musée du Louvre, National Museum of Design New York and many more.
The price is valid for nine chairs and the table.
