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.
