Coffee Table by Giuseppe Scapinelli in Caviuna and Glass, Brazil, 1950's

Creator: Giuseppe Scapinelli
Offered by: Zeger van Olden

Description
This coffee table by Giuseppe Scapinelli, crafted in the 1950s, demonstrates the designer's characteristic focus on material and form. The table combines a glass top with a sculptural wooden base, likely made from Brazilian hardwood, showcasing the rich natural grain and precise joinery. The tapered, spindle-like legs connect seamlessly to a lower wooden shelf, creating both structural support and functional storage. The table was fullly restored because there was some veneer damage, so you will still see some traces but it was very nicely done.

A bit more about the designer: Giuseppe Scapinelli was an Italian-born designer who moved to Brazil, where he became a key figure in mid-century design. His work often blended European modernist principles with Brazilian craftsmanship and materials, creating furniture that balanced function and form. This coffee table is a clear representation of his approach, emphasizing clean lines and thoughtful design.

With its practical design and strong aesthetic appeal, this coffee table is an excellent choice for collectors and anyone looking to add a timeless piece to their space.
