Marco Zanuso (1916–2001) Rare dining table Manufactured by Poggi, Pavia, Italy, circa 1950s Solid rosewood (palissandro). A rare and highly refined dining table designed by Marco Zanuso and executed by Poggi, Pavia, exemplifying the intellectual rigour and material sophistication of post-war Italian modernism. The elongated rectangular top, crafted in solid rosewood, displays a rich and expressive grain, enhanced by a deep, lustrous finish that accentuates the natural warmth and density of the timber. The table is supported by two sculptural crossed trestle bases, an architectonic solution characteristic of Zanuso’s mature design language, in which structural logic is elevated to formal expression. The bold yet disciplined geometry of the base provides both visual dynamism and exceptional stability, resulting in a composition of striking balance and restraint. This model reflects the exceptional standards of Poggi’s production, long celebrated for its collaborations with Italy’s most influential designers and for its uncompromising craftsmanship. The present example stands as a testament to the enduring dialogue between modernist rationalism and artisanal excellence that defines the finest Italian furniture of the mid-twentieth century.
