Brazilian Modern Coffee table in Caviuna & Marble, Giuseppe Scapinelli, c. 1950

Available today, this ONE-OF-A-KIND Brazilian Modern Coffee table in Caviuna & Marble designed by Giuseppe Scapinelli in the fifties is nothing less than spectacular!

This beautiful coffee table features a sculpted base made in Caviuna wood. The edges are curved and delicate contrasting nicely with the pink marble top that rests on top of the base. The marble is delicately screwed into the wood. The wood has been refinished and the marble is the original one. The table was purchased from a private collection in Brasilia.
