This sculptural piece, known as cariatide 4, reflects ceccarelli’s exploration of rhythm, geometry, and negative space — where functional furniture meets contemporary sculpture. Each base is hand-carved from solid wood, featuring geometric cut-outs and voids that create a striking brutalist yet refined silhouette. The architectural composition expresses the italian radical design language of the early 1980s: bold, expressive, and deeply material. The wood material is fire-treated and wax-patinated, highlighting the natural grain and depth of the carving. The two sculptural bases can be arranged in multiple configurations: – as side tables, displayed individually as autonomous sculptural objects. – as a round dining table, by combining them with a circular glass top. – as a long rectangular dining or pedestal desk, by aligning them beneath a rectangular glass top. Please note: the glass top shown is for illustration purposes only. We can provide a new 15 mm glass top made to original specifications upon request. This model perfectly captures the essence of italian avant-garde craftsmanship from the 1980s — where design and sculpture converge into one expressive statement piece. Dimensions (rectangular configuration): height: 72 cm (28.3 in) width: 200 cm (78.7 in) depth: 90 cm (35.4 in) dimensions (round configuration, example): height: 72 cm (28.3 in) diameter: 120 cm (47.2 in) condition: excellent vintage condition.
