Vintage Parchment Table by Aldo Tura for Tura Milano, 1960

An exceptional oval table by Aldo Tura, made in Milan around 1960, entirely covered in light cream-colored natural parchment with a mirror-like finish.
A work of great sculptural presence, it exemplifies Tura's exploration of parchment as a noble and iridescent material, capable of transforming architectural surfaces into true sensory experiences.
The tabletop, with imposing yet perfectly balanced proportions, rests on a fluted cylindrical base, which reinterprets the classic column motif in a modernist key, creating a harmonious dialogue between monumentality and lightness.
The surfaces, soft and velvety to the eye, reflect light with warm, nuanced hues, restoring the material to its most intimate and precious dimension.
The work embodies all the distinctive features of Aldo Tura's poetics: the tactile sensuality of parchment, the rigorous and proportionate construction, the use of color as an atmospheric element, and the constant tension between craftsmanship and experimentation.
Tura, an atypical and visionary figure in Milanese design, anticipated, with his furniture upholstered in unusual materials such as parchment, eggshell, velvet, or leather, the era of cultured decorativism and refined eccentricity that would dominate Italian taste in the 1960s and 1970s.
This table, part of the rare production entirely created in Aldo Tura's workshops, expresses a perfect synthesis of artisanal expertise and material research, elements that today make his works among the most sought-after in the international collector's scene.
The design, at once solemn and poetic, reflects the idea of ​​a cultured and discreet luxury, which finds its most authentic form of beauty in the natural imperfection of parchment.
A powerfully sculptural piece, ideal both as a dining table and as a dramatic centerpiece in contemporary or classic settings, engaging with light and space.
In excellent condition with minor signs of aging, as shown in photographs.
