Mahogany round table with veneered top, designed by Osvaldo Borsani, Italian production, 1950s
This elegant table, made from fine mahogany, features an intriguing design that captures attention. The four legs supporting the top intersect and then diverge, creating a structure marked by remarkable fluidity and refined shapes. The signature of Osvaldo Borsani is unmistakable in this piece, showcasing the organic and almost natural flow that characterizes much of the architect's work.
Details such as the tapering of the table legs and the harmonious sequence of gentle curves place this table among the most representative examples of Borsani's craftsmanship. Staying true to his lineage—both his father and grandfather were esteemed furniture makers—Borsani maintained a commitment to artisanal quality, even as he introduced innovative designs for Tecno, the company he co-founded in the early 1950s that achieved lasting success. The passion for wood and its potential is evident in this table, particularly in the expertly arranged mahogany veneers on the top, forming a radiant starburst pattern.
The piece has undergone professional restoration, enhancing its construction quality, the rich wood color, and the distinctive Borsani design.
