Throughout his career, Magistretti repeatedly worked through typologies by isolating one constructive gesture and making it visible. In Vidun, created in 1986,  that gesture is the screw.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe title itself is revealing. “Vidun,” in Milanese dialect, refers to a large screw, and the entire table is organized around this mechanical principle. By turning the screw mechanism, the glass top can be raised or lowered, recalling adjustable carpenter’s benches or industrial worktables. The transparency of the top allows the construction beneath to remain fully visible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53619201999191,"sku":null,"price":8820.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50119056_St_P_5_1fd68e7f-1876-48de-90a3-60f871e77e18.jpg?v=1779469181","url":"https:\/\/www.morentz.com\/en-gb\/products\/vico-magistretti-for-de-padova-vidun-dining-table-with-colorful-geometric-base","provider":"Morentz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
