Afra & Tobia Scarpa “925” Coffee Table for Cassina, Brown wood, 1966
Description
Afra & Tobia Scarpa “925” coffee table for Cassina, brown wood, Italy, 1966
This coffee table exemplifies the Scarpas’ collaboration with Cassina in the 1960s. The clear walnut frame recalls the “925” easy chair and “121” chair cubical volume.
The support structure uses solid wood planks with a trestle assembly. The width of the crosspiece is double the width of the feet, and the design of their point of contact uses the elegant solution of a slightly curved connection.
Afra Bianchin (1937-2011) and Tobia Scarpa (1935) began their long collaboration in 1957. Starting from 1960, they collaborated with companies like Gavina, B&B Italia, and Cassina. Innovators and unconventional thinkers developed numerous projects discovering new ways of mixing different materials and shapes. Their pieces are exhibited in many museums worldwide, collections the MoMa in New York and the Musée du Louvre in Paris.
