Important oval dining table designed by Angelo Mazzola, also known as Al Martin, and produced by Salpol in the 1980s.
The large oval top is entirely covered in grey-dyed goatskin parchment with a polished finish.
The beautiful surface reveals the natural tonal variations, light veining and organic marbling typical of parchment, elements that make each piece unique and unrepeatable.
The grey tone, sophisticated and contemporary, softens the warmer appearance of natural leather, giving the table a more architectural and minimal character while maintaining depth and material vibrancy.
The base structure is composed of two opposing semi-cylindrical volumes connected by refined vertical elements, defining a monumental yet balanced presence.
The internal curved panel is upholstered in fabric, introducing a refined contrast between the smooth and reflective surface of the parchment and a softer, more matte texture.
This material dialogue is emblematic of Italian production of the 1980s, a period in which research on surfaces and finishes assumed a central role.
The shaped base follows the curvature of the top with a continuous and enveloping design, generating a sculptural and perfectly proportioned silhouette.
Salpol operated within the same Lombard production context in which workshops specialized in parchment craftsmanship emerged, including Aldo Tura.
While maintaining distinct identities, these realities shared a technical culture based on experimentation with surfaces, the use of treated leather, and high-level artisanal finishes.
A table of strong visual presence and collectible relevance, expressing the formal and material maturity of Italian design of the 1980s.
