Jean-Michel Wilmotte “Grand Louvre” Table for Tecno, Italy, 1993
Description
Jean-Michel Wilmotte “Grand Louvre” Table for Tecno, wood, brass and glass, Italy, 1993
A striking example of Italian modern design from the early 1990s, the “Grand Louvre” table was designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte for Tecno, the Milan-based manufacturer renowned for its refined architectural furniture.
The table combines a solid wood and brass frame with a smoked glass top, revealing a geometric understructure that echoes Wilmotte’s architectural background. Every joint, plate, and proportion reflects his pursuit of structural clarity — the same precision visible in his celebrated renovation of the Louvre Museum in Paris.
With its minimalist rigor and material dialogue, this piece stands at the intersection of Italian craftsmanship and French modernist sensibility. It shares the disciplined elegance of contemporaries such as Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, and Tobia Scarpa, whose works similarly bridge architecture and furniture through proportion and restraint.
