Description from the seller

Leonardo table by Achille Castiglioni for Zanotta

In this auction, we present a significant piece of Italian design: the Leonardo table, created by master Achille Castiglioni and produced by Zanotta. An object that elevates the concept of a work table to an icon of domestic refinement.

Design and History
The Leonardo table is a sublime example of functionality and archetypal simplicity.
Design: Conceived in the 1960s, the Leonardo is directly inspired by traditional work tables with trestles. Castiglioni was able to reinterpret this common object, maintaining its practicality while elevating its aesthetics.
Philosophy: The design reflects Castiglioni's dedication to essentiality. The structure, composed of a top supported by two height-adjustable tripods, makes the table highly versatile, suitable both as a professional desk and an elegant dining table.

The glass is perfectly intact, with no chips or scratches, maintaining excellent transparency and shine.
The stands are also in excellent condition, solid, robust, and perfectly functional; they show only slight signs of use consistent with the nature of the object.

Authenticity: The originality of the article is guaranteed by the Zanotta manufacturing brand.
