About the Item
Designed by Giuseppe Scapinelli in the 1950s, this sculptural round coffee table is a compelling expression of Brazilian modernism’s dialogue between architecture, craftsmanship, and organic form. Executed in richly toned caviúna wood and topped with a circular glass surface, the table reflects Scapinelli’s distinctive approach to structure as a fluid, expressive system rather than a rigid framework.
The base is composed of elegantly curved wooden elements that intersect and loop with a sense of rhythmic movement, evoking the structural logic of mid-century Brazilian architecture—where columns, ramps, and supports often appear to flow rather than terminate. This continuous circulation of form creates both visual dynamism and structural balance, allowing the piece to feel grounded yet remarkably light.
The glass top acts as an architectural plane, floating above the sculptural base and allowing full visibility of the construction below—much like the transparency and openness explored in modernist buildings of the period. The result is a table that functions equally as furniture and as a small-scale architectural object.
An iconic example of Scapinelli’s work from the 1950s, this coffee table embodies the Brazilian modernist ideal: expressive tropical materials, refined craftsmanship, and a sophisticated synthesis of form and function.
