About This Piece

Vintage Design

The table features a rectangular top with slightly rounded corners, crafted from black lacquered wood. The frame is composed of two solid legs, also in black lacquered wood, which support the tabletop solidly and sturdily. The wood used is high-quality, treated with a glossy black lacquer that completely hides the wood grain and gives the table an elegant and refined look. One of the distinctive features of the Orseolo table are the joints between the various parts of the frame, crafted with extreme precision using satin-finish aluminum components, lending the table a touch of industrial chic. The table's proportions are carefully considered, creating a perfect balance between visual lightness and structural solidity.
The table's design dates back to 1972 and was produced by Gavina/Simon until the copyright passed to Cassina, when Gavina ceased to exist. The table was produced in various sizes and for various purposes. Here, we offer a very large console table (top length 265 cm). The table, which came directly from a private residence, was not in good condition: on one side, the aluminum elements had been covered with black lacquer, which we attempted to remove, restoring it to its original condition.
The top has been carefully cleaned, but it has scratches and a few dents: obvious signs of wear and tear.

About the Creator

Carlo Scarpa

Born in Venice in 1906, Carlo Scarpa studied architectural design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. After graduating in 1926, he taught architectural drawing at the Academy, where he held multiple posts throughout his life. At the same time, Scarpa launched his career as an industrial and interior designer, creating multiple designs for Venini Glass Works in Venice. His most recognized pre-war project, however, was the 1935 restoration and renovation of the School of Economics at the University of Venice. His post-war commissions consisted primarily of historic building renovations, interior remodeling, and exhibition installations, often revealing the influence of Art Nouveau, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Josef Hoffmann.

Scarpa’s architecture is characterized by a great sensitivity to the changes of time. Important projects include the Canova Plaster Cast Gallery in Possagno (Treviso) (1955-1957); Olivetti showroom in Piazza S. Marco, Venice (1957-1958); and the Banca Popolare di Verona, which Scarpa began in 1973, and which was completed after his death by Arrigo Rudi.

He created multiple landscape, garden, and building designs across Italy, as well as in Canada, the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and France. He died in Japan in 1978. He is buried, fittingly, in the Brion Tomb complex in the San Vito d'Altivole (Treviso) cemetery—a 1969 Scarpa design that some call his most important work.
