Artona dining table designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Maxalto in the 1970s. A piece that perfectly reflects the sophistication of Italian design of the time.

The tabletop is crafted in burl walnut, selected for the intensity and uniqueness of its grain. The perimeter features fine marquetry in different woods, including ebony.

The base of this dining table comprises two sculptural volumes with a strong architectural presence, partially upholstered in quilted leather. Brass details complete the design, creating subtle luminous accents.

The Tulip table was designed by Eero Saarinen in 1958. It consists of a white-painted metal base and a round white marble tabletop.

Currently produced by the renowned brand Knoll, this table stands out for its quality and exclusivity, qualities that have elevated the brand to the highest level of prestige in the luxury furniture sector.

To create this collection, Saarinen dedicated five years to solving what he called the 'ugly, confusing, unrestful world' he observed underneath chairs and tables, which he referred to as the 'slum of legs.' His revolutionary approach and pursuit of a purist design culminated in the Pedestal Collection, introduced in 1958. Since then, the collection has not only transformed interior design but has also established itself as a symbol of elegance and simplicity in modern design, elevating every space it occupies with its unique and timeless presence.

Alberto Carlo Scarpa was born on June 2 in Venice, the son of Antonio Scarpa, and Emma Novello, his second wife.

His career in architecture began with collaborations in the studio of Vicente Rinaldo, where he managed several projects, including the Church of Travettore Rosa in Vicenza and the Pradipozzo bell tower in Oderzo in 1923, as well as the Church of Santa Maria di Sala in Venice and the Aviano bell tower in Udine in 1924.

In that same year, he obtained the title of competence in architectural design from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.

In November of that year, Scarpa began working as an assistant to Guido Cirilli at the University Institute of Architecture in Venice, where Cirilli taught architecture. He held this position until 1929. In December, he applied to register as an architect, although he was unsuccessful at that time.

Then, he joined Franco Pizzuto's company, where he worked on several projects in Fontaniva, Padova. These projects included the design of a villa for Juan Campagnolo, the construction of an industrial building with adjacent housing, a courtyard, the renovation of Angel Veil's villa, and the restoration of Aldo Martini's villa in Padua.
