About the Item

Monumental Metal Table "Karate" by Carlo Forcolini for Alias, Italy, 1985 "I tried to give three-dimensionality to a very evocative geometric image: the equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle. The result is that the triangle is no longer equilateral and the circle has lost its perfection. It is as if in this violent gesture it had interrupted the reassuring initial equilibrium..." Carlo Forconi A very rare table, extraordinarily original, which stands out for its size and style as a unique piece of furniture During his long career Forcolini has worked for Alias, Cassina, De Padova, Artemide and other prestigious Italian companies
