A monumental, highly architectural large "Partenio" extendable dining table, designed by the legendary Italian architect Ignazio Gardella and manufactured by Misura Emme. This imposing piece is a masterclass in postwar Italian rationalism, beautifully balancing luxurious materials with sophisticated mechanical functionality. The table features a substantial, multi-sectional top crafted from premium Carrara marble, selected for its iconic white background and delicate gray veining. This luxurious, substantial surface is masterfully set off by a clean, geometric structural framework made of black-lacquered wood. Designed for versatility, the table is equipped with its original extension mechanism, featuring sturdy metal support brackets finished with solid brass end pieces and knobs. These brass hardware components are intentionally left visible, serving as a refined decorative accent against the dark wood frame. A rare and deeply sophisticated statement piece that makes a striking visual impact in prominent modernist dining rooms or high-end contemporary spaces.
