Carlo Scarpa “Samo” Oval Table for Simon Gavina, 1971
Description
Carlo Scarpa “Samo” oval table for Simon Gavina, white Carrara marble, Italy, 1971.
The Scarpa’s way of thinking the architecture is particularly visible in this piece. The “Samo” dining table, designed in 1971 for ‘Ultrarazionale’ collection by Simon Gavina, consists of two grooved solid Carrara marble pillars and a single floating oval white Carrara marble tabletop. The table explicitly shows strong architectural features in the pillared base.
The solid oval marble top is an example of the use of gravity based techniques as the weight of the oval marble balances perfectly on the pedestal base.
