This ensemble is a characteristic design of italian postmodernism, combining powerful architecture with organic forms.

the massive, angled table legs and the softly rounded transitions of the construction are particularly striking, lending the table an elegant lightness despite its imposing appearance. The intricately crafted walnut tabletop captivates with its contrasting grain and graphic striped pattern. The set is complemented by four matching chairs with sculpturally shaped backrests and dark red leather upholstery, which harmoniously underscores the warm materiality of the wood.

the sapporo series by mario marenco is now considered a sought-after design classic of the 1970s and impresses with its high-quality craftsmanship, its architectural presence, and the rare combination of italian elegance and sculptural furniture design.
