Round Dining Table by Anna Castelli Ferrieri and Ignazio Gardella for Kartell, Italy, 1967

Dining Table round Designer: Anna Castelli and Ignazio Gardella Year: 1967 Manufacturer: Kartell, Binasco Country: Italy Measurements: H 72 cm W 120 cm D 120 cm Material: Fiberglass reinforced polyester white matt, solid-colored, metal parts stainless steel, with 3 screws in the base for level adjustment Condition: good original condition Special Remarks: slight traces of wear. The rare, early table comes from an art collector's household in Berlin; we acquired the furniture from the first buyer. Only cleaned and slightly polished, the furniture is in good original condition. The plate has a small white defect on the surface where the dark gray primer shows through, 1 mm high and 4 mm wide. The furniture has slight scratches on the surface of the table top.

Quote from Repertorio: "The temptations of plastic have spared almost no one, including architects like Ignazio Gardella, who are usually involved in extremely sophisticated designs. However, plastic has now been ennobled and has found its way into the main door of important living rooms, perhaps even in combination with the unavoidable antique furniture. In this table, designed by Gardella together with Anna Castelli for Kartell, the previously developed theme of the round table is resumed and adapted to modern materials and production technologies." A rare, round table with a central base, beautifully crafted, classically structured and extremely durable and hard-wearing thanks to the modern processing of fiberglass-reinforced polyester.
