“Acqua” Coffee Table in Ebony Wood & Glass, Giuseppe Scapinelli, 1950s - Lot 384

Description

The organic shape of the base of this coffee table, aptly named "Acqua" (Italian for water), allows it to swivel on its axis, dramatically changing its appearance. The coffee table, including the swivel structure and glass, remains unaltered. Due to its delicate design, very few of these tables exist today in their original shape. The wood has been repainted, and while the glass has a couple of dents, the table is otherwise in excellent condition. This iconic design is one of Scapinelli’s most renowned, featured in numerous publications such as "Casa e Jardim" (Brazil House & Garden) and Giuseppe Scapinelli’s book (images attached).
