Carlo Scarpa extendable dining table

Poised on unusual curved feet, this solid oak dining table by Carlo Scarpa reveals a playful construction in rounded forms. Two ebonised crossbars provide support, while a flip top and sliding mechanism enables the table to extend to double the original width. Four matching dining chairs are available.

Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) was an architect who mastered materials, detail, and light. His poetic constructions, largely clustered around Venice, are distinct in their execution of detail and narrative allusion. He produced a limited body of furniture designs after meeting Dino Gavina in the 1960s, but is most famous for the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona, the Olivetti showroom in Venice and the Brion Tomb in San Vito d’Altivole.

Restored to good vintage condition, with some light water damage to one leg.
