Gae AULENTI (1927-2012) For Fontana Arte. Square glass "Tavolo con ruote" coffee table on four castors. Created in 1980. H_30 cm W_130 cm D_130 cm The "Tavolo con ruote" coffee table designed by Gae Aulenti in 1980 for FontanaArte is an iconic piece of Italian industrial design. Inspired by the company's industrial carts, it replaces the wooden shelf with a 15mm-thick beveled glass top, mounted on four metal castors. This simple yet bold transformation combines functionality and modern aesthetics, paying homage to FontanaArte's production history. With its dimensions and clean design, this table is a design classic from the 1980s, still in production and available for purchase on the FontanaArte website. It is also part of the collections of the Centre Pompidou and MoMA in New York.
