Structure in steel and table in smoked glass. A refined example of late modernist italian design, the p42 low table by bernard govin for saporiti italia exemplifies the designer’s commitment to structural clarity and material precision. The table features a rectangular top in smoked glass with softly rounded corners, resting on a sculptural chrome-plated steel base. The frame is composed of two continuous u-shaped elements in polished metal, creating a balanced, architectural profile defined by clean lines and subtle curvature. The glass top is secured by minimal metal supports, emphasizing visual lightness and a floating effect above the reflective structure.

govin’s design language is evident in the table’s harmonious proportions and engineered simplicity, where industrial materials are elevated through meticulous detailing and finish. The interplay between transparency and polished steel produces a striking contrast, while maintaining a restrained elegance characteristic of saporiti’s high-quality production of the period. Good vintage condition, with light surface wear to the chrome and minor signs of use to the glass consistent with age. Structurally sound and well preserved.
