Description
The Round 'Africa' Table by Afra & Tobia Scarpa, part of the Maxalto Artona Series, is a distinctive piece of Italian furniture design from the 1970s. Afra (1937-2011) and Tobia (1935-2020) Scarpa were a husband-and-wife duo of Italian architects and designers renowned for their innovative approach and mastery of materials. The 'Africa' Table is characterized by its unique and sculptural design, inspired by the organic forms found in nature. The round tabletop, often crafted from luxurious materials such as marble or wood, sits atop a base resembling tree branches or roots, creating an intriguing juxtaposition of natural elements and modernist design principles. One of the notable features of the 'Africa' Table is its attention to detail and craftsmanship. The base is intricately crafted to mimic the texture and shape of tree branches, with careful consideration given to the placement of each element to achieve a harmonious and balanced composition. Despite its organic inspiration, the 'Africa' Table exudes a sense of elegance and sophistication that is characteristic of the Scarpa duo's design aesthetic. The use of high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship ensures that the table is not only visually striking but also durable and long-lasting. width 145 cm height 70 cm
