"André" dining table of Afra Scarpa for Gavina, 1968 - Italian modernist design with industrial elegance a rare and iconic piece of the history of Italian design, the "André" dining table, designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa in 1968 for the gavine manufacture, perfectly embodies the aesthetic clarity and modernist rigor of the Italian post -war design movement. Elegant industrial structure, the table has a surprising architectural structure in chromed tubular steel, with four cylindrical legs that support a structure of the grilled metal top. This grid, intersecting in a clean and designed way, adds an elegant geometric rhythm to the piece and also acts as a support system for the plane. The plan is made of a smoke glass plate, creating a beautiful contrast with the reflective chrome and allowing the sculptural base to remain completely visible. This transparent interaction between the materials enhances the feeling of lightness and architectural purity. Minimal but expressive, the "André" table is a real representation of the ability of Afra shoe to balance functionality and sculptural elegance. The grid visible under the glass recalls a Bauhaus -style rationalism, while maintaining the warmth and proportions of Italian design.
