Jumbo model coffee table, designed by Gae Aulenti for Knoll International in the mid-1960s, entirely in white Carrara marble with a square top and four cylindrical legs, dimensions 112.5 x 112.5 x 36 cm, Italian-made and in good condition with minor signs of age and warpage as shown.
Description from the seller
This extraordinary coffee table is the Jumbo model, a radical design masterpiece created by Gae Aulenti for Knoll International in 1965. Entirely made in Carrara white marble, the table stands out for its monumental architectural presence: the square top, characterized by delicate gray veining, is supported by four monumental cylindrical legs. The ingenious constructive simplicity lies in the junction visible at the corners, where the top fits perfectly into the hollow pillars, creating a sharp and powerful contrast between the linearity of the top and the roundness of the supports.
Close-up images confirm the piece’s authenticity, showing on the legs and under the top the original Knoll labels "Made in Italy".
Dimensions: 36x112.5x112.5 cm
The coffee table is presented in good condition considering its age, it shows some signs of wear and material defects as in the photographs. Light scratches and marks on the surface due to normal use over time, but generally intact. Please observe the photographs carefully as they are an integral part of the description!
*Given the dimensions and weight of this table, pickup is required for this lot. We are about 1 hour from Milan, but it is still possible to obtain a dedicated national and international shipping quote.
