An elegant and highly collectible Italian dining set comprising the iconic T69 dining table designed by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno and a set of four PS142 swivel armchairs by Eugenio Gerli, also produced by Tecno during the 1960s.
The T69 table is distinguished by its refined architectural design and minimalist aesthetic. It features a smoked glass top set at a slightly lower-than-standard dining height, emphasizing its original multifunctional concept that comfortably bridges dining and lounge environments. The sculptural metal frame reflects Osvaldo Borsani's masterful balance of engineering precision and elegant proportions, making the table a timeless example of Italian modernist design.
Complementing the table are four PS142 armchairs, designed by Eugenio Gerli. Each chair is mounted on discreet castors and features a swivel base, offering exceptional comfort and functionality. Their softly sculpted silhouette is upholstered in luxurious cream velvet, creating a sophisticated contrast with the table's smoked glass and metal structure. The combination perfectly expresses Tecno's philosophy of merging technological innovation with refined aesthetics.
Designed during one of the most influential periods of Italian design, this ensemble represents the exceptional collaboration between two of Tecno's leading designers. The set effortlessly combines functionality, comfort, and sculptural elegance, making it equally suitable for contemporary interiors, executive spaces, or discerning collectors of twentieth-century Italian design.
