A striking postmodern dining table designed by ettore sottsass for knoll international during the 1980s. Known as the “spider” table, the design exemplifies sottsass’ ability to transform functional furniture into a bold architectural statement through geometry, proportion, and material contrast.
the table is defined by its distinctive sculptural base, composed of four elegantly curved metal legs that converge beneath the centre of the top. Resembling the poised stance of a spider, the structure creates a dynamic sense of movement while maintaining remarkable visual balance and stability.
above the base rests a large circular smoked glass top, introducing transparency and lightness to the composition. The contrast between the dark tubular structure and the floating glass surface enhances the table’s graphic presence, allowing the architectural form beneath to remain fully visible from every angle.
combining engineering precision with sculptural expression, the spider table stands as an iconic example of italian postmodern design and reflects sottsass’ enduring influence on late 20th-century furniture design.
condition
very good overall condition, with normal signs of use consistent with age, including scratches on the smoked glass tabletop.
