Coffee table by Enrico Ciuti, produced by Cassina in the 1950s. The frame is made of dark Italian walnut and the base is made of Pakistani onyx. Enrico Ciuti (born in Milan in 1910, died in Lugano, Switzerland, in 1991) was a multifaceted figure in twentieth-century Italian art and design. He is also known for his work as a graphic designer and exhibition designer for major Italian companies and for his collaborations with magazines such as Domus and L’Ufficio Moderno, for which he also designed covers. He also created the famous Lanerossi brand. His work was characterized by formal and material research that ranged from Constructivism to influences from Neoplasticism and the Bauhaus School, combining structural rigor and functional requirements with imaginative solutions. He also had a brief collaboration with Figli di Amedeo Cassina between 1948 and 1955, designing furniture.
