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.
