Dining room set consisting of Carlo Scarpa and Hiroyuki Toyoda for Simon Gavina large table with René Herbst 'Sandows' chairs
Carlo Scarpa and Hiroyuki Toyoda for Simon Gavina, conference or dining table, fabric top, chromed steel, Italy, design 1973
Elegant conference table initially designed by Carlo Scarpa in 1973. However, it never went into production. After Scarpa’s death, the design was refined and finished by Hiroyki Toyoda in the early 1980s. The tabletop is made out of blue fabric which gives it an overall sleek look. This smooth feel is enhanced by the stunning frame which is formed by tubular chromed steel legs, finished with brass ends. Moreover, this streamlined concept is even more emphasized by the length of the table which is 4 meters long. In general, this graceful table has a very modern yet sophisticated look.

The 'Sandows' chair epitomizes the industrial advancements of the twenties, featuring a tubular steel construction integrated with elastic components. This chair remains the most renowned design of the esteemed French designer and architect René Herbst (1891-1982). Originating in 1928, this iconic work has earned a place of honor within the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, a testament to its enduring significance within the history of art and design. The material used in constructing the chair's seat and backrest is known as 'Sandows', which is the French term for rubber bands. Given the significant number of these chairs in our collection, they present an excellent option for furnishing a spacious area, such as a dining hall, bistro, or café.
