Description
Tobia Scarpa "André" Square Dining Table for Gavina / Knoll International, Chrome & Glass, 48"
Two Pieces: Table base and Glass Top
An architectural square table of exceptional modernist clarity, attributed to the celebrated Italian designer Tobia Scarpa and identified with the "André" model originally produced by Gavina and later associated with Knoll International production. The design is defined by its disciplined, almost structuralist geometry: a substantial plate-glass top floating above a chrome-plated steel frame with an exposed interior grid"”a signature Scarpa gesture that turns engineering into ornament.
From above, the table reads like a refined windowpane composition; from the side, the crisp metal perimeter and cylindrical legs give the piece a clean, gallery-like presence that works equally well as a dining table, conference table, or large-scale desk. The result is a timeless 1960s–1970s Italian modern statement"”minimal, intelligent, and highly usable"”suited to interiors ranging from strict International Style to warm contemporary and postmodern spaces.
A strong choice for collectors who appreciate Scarpa's best work: rational, beautifully proportioned, and executed with the precision expected of high-quality mid-century European production.
