About the Item
This rare and sculptural coffee table exemplifies Giuseppe Scapinelli’s masterful interpretation of Brazilian modernism in the postwar period. Designed and produced in Brazil in the 1950s, the table features a generously scaled, organically contoured wooden top resting on an expressive base composed of curved, intersecting supports.
Scapinelli’s design language—deeply influenced by European modernism yet rooted in Brazilian craftsmanship—is evident in the fluidity of the structure and the refined balance between strength and elegance. The base reads almost as a continuous gesture, showcasing exceptional joinery and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of the wood grain.
Both architectural and sculptural, the table transcends pure function, standing as a statement piece that anchors a space while celebrating material, form, and craftsmanship. An outstanding example of mid-century Brazilian design by one of its most expressive and sought-after designers.
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.
