About the Item

This exceptional 1950s coffee table by Giuseppe Scapinelli showcases the designer’s distinctive sculptural approach and mastery of Brazilian modernism. Crafted in richly grained caviúna wood, the table features an elegant circular frame supported by four dramatically curved legs that meet in a central, interlocking base—one of Scapinelli’s signature organic motifs. The table is topped with a circular glass surface (not shown in the current photo), which allows the intricate woodwork beneath to remain fully visible. The interplay between the airy glass top and the expressive, fluid wooden structure gives the piece a light, architectural presence, making it a standout centerpiece for any living space. Designer Bio: Giuseppe Scapinelli was an Italian-Brazilian furniture designer who worked primarily in the mid-20th century. He was known for his elegant and innovative designs, which often incorporated curved lines, tapered legs, and other elements that were ahead of their time. Scapinelli's work was heavily influenced by the Art Deco and Bauhaus movements, as well as his own personal experiences as an immigrant to Brazil. He produced a wide range of furniture pieces, including chairs, tables, cabinets, and more. His furniture was characterized by its sleek lines, minimalist aesthetic, and use of high-quality materials like exotic woods and brass. Scapinelli's designs were also notable for their attention to detail and commitment to quality, which made his pieces highly durable and long-lasting. Today, his work is highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts around the world. Scapinelli passed away in 1985 at the age of 75.
