Low table designed by Aldo Tura in the sixties, made of parchment, or goat skin, hand -dyed in two different shades: a clear, warm and luminous finish for the main surface, and a dark parchment, almost burnt, for the collected central geometric detail.
The visual effect is extraordinary: the contrast between the two colors gives life to a measured but powerful graphic motif, which reveals the designer's compositional sensitivity.
The entire volume rests on a backward base that visually raises the plan, giving the piece an almost sculptural lightness, despite its solid and compact presence.
The perfectly calibrated proportions make this table suitable for both a classic environment and to a contemporary interior, where it can become a discreet but sophisticated focal point.
Aldo Tura is a unique figure in the panorama of Italian design of the twentieth century, famous for his obsession with materials and continuous experimentation on finishes and surfaces. His work is halfway between author crafts and high -end industrial production, with a predilection for complex and refined techniques, including the masterful use of the parchment, often applied and hand -dyed, as in this case.
Each piece by Tura is the result of a meticulous process, which requires time, precision and an out of common aesthetic sensitivity.
This table is an emblematic example: elegant, essential, but at the same time material and sensual.
The surface retains all the wealth of the original parchment and discreetly tells the passage of the years. The design language of Tura, in this case, is expressed through the formal simplicity and the refinement of materials, in a perfect balance between rationalism and decorativism.
Pieces like this, authentic and well preserved, are now increasingly rare and refined, present in the most careful collections and in environments where the interior design dialogues with the history of Italian author furniture.
A silent but eloquent work, which speaks to those who know how to grasp the beauty in detail.
The table presents itself in excellent original conditions. The parchment surface is intact, with slight and homogeneous traces of the time compatible with age, such as superficial micrographers and a light natural patina that enhances its authenticity. There are no breaks, lifts or visible restoration signs.
The base is solid and stable. Overall, the piece fully retains its material charm and is ready to be inserted in both historical and contemporary environments.
