The design is built around a thick green glass top, which gives the table its distinctive character. The glass has a deep, even tone that changes slightly with the light, creating subtle reflections without overpowering the room. It rests securely on a geometric base, where the clean lines and precise proportions show the Scarpas’ focus on balance and clarity. The base is both functional and sculptural, allowing the glass to remain the main visual element while still adding structure. This combination of solid form and open transparency is a recurring theme in the Scarpas’ work, blending architectural thinking with furniture design. The table is in perfect condition, with the glass free of scratches and the structure showing no signs of wear. It’s a piece that works well as a focal point, while still being practical for daily use. Suitable for both private interiors and professional settings, it reflects the enduring quality and thoughtful design that has made Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s work sought after by collectors worldwide.
