Description from the seller

Carpentry of the Avant-Garde: Table '611' – Design Silvio Coppola for Bernini (1960s)

We present at auction an emblematic piece of 20th-century Italian design: the '611' table by Silvio Coppola for Bernini. Made in the 1960s, this model represents a pinnacle of elegance and functionality, standing out for its most sought-after version, complete with integrated ceramic containers that transform it into a dynamic and cultured piece of furniture.

Design and History: The Noble Walnut Presence
The 611 table is a perfect synthesis between Lombard cabinetmaking tradition and the geometric rigor of modernism:
The Nobility of the Wood: Coppola chooses noble walnut to define the project’s soul. The frame and the top emphasize the natural grain of the wood, giving the piece a warm and authoritative presence capable of defining the architectural space without resorting to decorative excess.
The Centerpiece Ingeniousness: The distinguishing feature of this edition is the integrated housing system in the top. The table is equipped with four ceramic containers that can be exposed to host objects or plants, or concealed at will through walnut panels perfectly coordinated, returning the top to its formal continuity.
Rigorous Proportions: Every detail, from the joint of the legs to the thickness of the top, responds to a design vision that unites the solidity of solid wood with the lightness of the 1960s lines.

Lot Conditions: Conservation Status and Authenticity
- The piece presents itself in excellent use condition, preserved with the care necessary to valorize a high-manufacture item:
- Surfaces and Structure: The structure is solid and intact. The walnut wood has been treated with professional products that bring out its deep grain, preserving the valuable original patina. Only slight and natural signs of use and age are noted, consistent with the object's history.
- Ceramic Accessories: The four original bowls branded Bernini are in excellent condition and integrate perfectly into the designated compartments.
- Authenticity Certification: The originality is guaranteed by the mark engraved on the bottom of the ceramics.

Width: 220 cm
Depth: 80 cm

The Designer: Silvio Coppola

Founded at the beginning of the 1900s, Bernini is synonymous with cabinetmaking excellence.
