Bernini - Carlo Scarpa - Scuderia - Dining table - Walnut

Il tavolo Scuderia, progettato da Carlo Scarpa nel 1977 per Bernini, è un capolavoro del design italiano che coniuga rigore strutturale, sensibilità materica e raffinatezza compositiva. L’opera riflette pienamente la poetica dell’architetto veneziano, in cui l’artigianato si fonde con l’innovazione formale. Caratterizzato da una struttura monumentale ma al tempo stesso equilibrata, il tavolo si distingue per il suo basamento composto da elementi lignei verticali sagomati, disposti a coppie simmetriche, che richiamano l’architettura delle scuderie nobiliari – da cui deriva il nome. La particolare articolazione delle gambe conferisce al pezzo una forte presenza scultorea, mentre il piano rettangolare, spesso e ben proporzionato, poggia in modo quasi sospeso, valorizzando il gioco di pieni e vuoti sottostante. Realizzato principalmente in legno massello, il tavolo testimonia l’interesse di Scarpa per la materia e il dettaglio costruttivo, con incastri e lavorazioni che rivelano una precisione quasi orafa. L’insieme trasmette un senso di gravitas e quieta eleganza, che va oltre la semplice funzione d’uso per affermarsi come oggetto architettonico nello spazio domestico.

Bernini - Carlo Scarpa - Scuderia - Dining table - Walnut

The Scuderia table, designed by Carlo Scarpa in 1977 for Bernini, is a masterpiece of Italian design that combines structural rigor, material sensitivity, and compositional refinement. The work fully reflects the poetical approach of the Venetian architect, in which craftsmanship is blended with formal innovation.

Characterized by a monumental yet balanced structure, the table stands out for its base composed of shaped vertical wooden elements arranged in symmetric pairs, reminiscent of noble stables architecture—hence the name. The particular articulation of the legs gives the piece a strong sculptural presence, while the rectangular top, thick and well-proportioned, rests in an almost suspended manner, enhancing the play of solids and voids underneath.

Mainly made of solid wood, the table testifies to Scarpa's interest in the material and constructive details, with joints and craftsmanship that reveal an almost jeweler's precision. The overall effect transmits a sense of gravitas and quiet elegance, which goes beyond the simple function of use to establish itself as an architectural object within the domestic space.

Table without dents or scratches... only signs of age.
