The glass top is supported by brass spacers with visible burnished screws, while the base rests on black rubber feet. The glass top, in the oval version known as "Elistella," enhances the refined and essential character of the design. This table is part of the "Ultrarazionale" collection, a series of sculptural pieces designed by Scarpa, distinguished by an exceptional attention to materials, refined construction details, and high-quality craftsmanship. From architecture to glass design, from furniture to museum installations, Carlo Scarpa's work is always recognizable for its unique ability to combine a deep appreciation for materials with meticulous attention to detail and a sophisticated interpretation of Wrightian and organic design principles. An architect, designer, and artist, Scarpa began his professional career after studying at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, while maintaining a close relationship with local craftsmen and Venetian glass masters, an influence that profoundly shaped his design approach.
