An Italian-born designer who settled in São Paulo, Scapinelli played a pivotal role in shaping a uniquely Brazilian modern language—one that fused European modernist training with the expressive potential of native hardwoods and sculptural form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"833\" data-end=\"1191\"\u003eCrafted in richly grained \u003cstrong data-start=\"859\" data-end=\"875\"\u003ecaviúna wood\u003c\/strong\u003e, the table is organized around a circular frame supported by four dramatically curved legs that converge into a central, interlocking base. This dynamic structural solution is emblematic of Scapinelli’s work, where furniture becomes an exploration of movement, balance, and organic geometry rather than static form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1193\" data-end=\"1566\"\u003eOriginally topped with a circular glass surface, the design allows full visibility of the intricate wooden architecture beneath, emphasizing lightness despite the density of the material. The contrast between transparent glass and sculptural wood reflects the postwar Brazilian fascination with modern interiors that were at once refined, expressive, and materially honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1568\" data-end=\"1825\"\u003eScapinelli’s furniture is increasingly recognized for its originality and technical sophistication, and examples of this scale and sculptural clarity are becoming scarce. A highly resolved work that functions equally as furniture and sculptural centerpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Found Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52505594724639,"sku":"867A","price":5500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/9645\/0847\/files\/0_aaf14b4d-ecea-4f7c-8bdb-01e4ba20b6f5.jpg?v=1777756040","url":"https:\/\/foundcollectibles.com\/products\/circular-coffee-table-in-caviuna-wood-glass-by-giuseppe-scapinelli-brazil-1950s-lot-867-copy","provider":"Found Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
