Claudio Salocchi Elisse dining table

Italian architect and designer Claudio Salocchi (1934–2012) studied architecture at the influential Milan Politecnico University before embarking on a design career that lasted some fifty years. He established a reputation for deep research into furniture layouts, yielding innovative compositions without compromise on function. His prescient Metrosistema design, a customisable system of multifunctional cabinets designed primarily for kitchens, was awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 1979.

This futuristic 1960s design by Salocchi features a taut steel wire suspended in a tinted acrylic cylinder. The circular base in brushed aluminium is mirrored by a lacquered black tabletop, which is punctuated by a central detail in the same metal. 

In fair vintage condition, with some light scratching and marks to the top. Small aluminium circle top middle replaced.
