Cassina celebrates the induction of Carlo Scarpa into the iMaestri collection with a limited edition of 50 pieces of the Doge Laguna table, designed in 1968 by the esteemed Venetian architect, to incorporate the atmosphere of the Lagoon into the piece through the creation of a sculptural work of the highest craftsmanship.

The rippling Laguna waves surface in the extra-clear glass table top in a tribute to the ancient glass art. The sheet is sand blasted to bring a matte finish to the glass and then fired again, producing the distinctive rippled effect. The refinement of the glass is further enhanced by bevelling the top, which thins the contours and forms a transparent crystalline frame.

Available in two sizes, Doge Laguna retains its iconic sculptural steel base that highlights the architectural character of the table.

Cassina celebrates the induction of Carlo Scarpa into the iMaestri collection with a 50-piece edition of the Doge Laguna table, designed in 1968 by the esteemed architect to incorporate the atmosphere of the Lagoon into the piece through the creation of a sculptural work of the highest craftsmanship. The rippling waves of the Venetian waters surface in the extra-clear glass table top. In a tribute to the ancient glass art, the reflections of the waves are captured through a new complex type of workmanship. The sheet is sand blasted to bring a matte finish to the glass and then fired again – a process that allows the creation of the distinctive appearance of the top, lending it texture and movement. The refinement of the glass is further enhanced by the bevelling – a perimeter edging that thins the contours and forms a transparent crystaline frame – a sophisticated detail that contrasts with the central part of the table. Available in two sizes, Doge Laguna retains its iconic sculptural steel base that highlights the architectural character of the table.
