Dining table from Italy by iconic designer Osvaldo Borsani and produced by Fossati Attilio & Arturo from 1950. Originally designed as part of a full room set by Borsani. This piece has a very unique shape, with convex sides and concave ends. A mirror sits on top for a Modernist detail. The pedestal base is made with a rosewood veneer and has four feet capped with bronze. The curves of the top are reflected in the curves of the base. The table is finished in a lustrous French polish of museum-quality. It is in excellent vintage condition – the photos accurately depict the condition.
Osvaldo Borsani was a true innovator and designer. Born in 1911, he was the visionary figure behind influential mid-century Italian furniture brand Tecno. He was respected for his high-quality, functional, and pioneering designs. He was instrumental in bringing modernist design to Italy while remaining committed to the Italian tradition of fine craftsmanship. This cabinet is an excellent example of his dedication and thoughtfulness – bringing together functionality and beauty.
