VITTORIO DASSI (Italy, 1893-1973). Dining table, 1950s. Calacatta marble and mahogany wood. In good condition according to its age and use. Measurements: 77 x 134 x 91 cm. Spectacular table designed by Vittorio Dassi, prestigious Italian designer active in the middle of the last century. Made of mahogany wood with an oval-shaped calacatta marble top. Simple structure, with a single foot that supports, in the central area, the top. This tulip foot is made of carved and lacquered mahogany, which gives it great sumptuousness. Its shape is flared towards the floor, emphasized by the grooves. It rests on an oval-shaped marble base that matches the top. Underneath the top, the structure is again made of wood. With its unique features and meticulous attention to detail, this table is a testament to Vittorio Dassi's innovative vision and artistic sensibility. Vittorio Dassi's furniture, made in the 1940s and 1950s, is distinguished by the choice of fine woods such as rosewood, cherry, ash and walnut, often decorated with inlaid panels and glass signed by great master glassmakers. Elegant in design without losing functional quality, his furniture can be compared to the refined style of Gio Ponti, to whom Vittorio was linked by important collaborations after taking over from his father at Dassi Mobili Moderni in Lissone. One of the factory's most important projects was the creation of furniture for the rooms of the Hotel Royal in Naples, designed by Ponti in the mid-1950s, a period that marked Dassi's turn towards more schematic forms and teak wood for the production of modular furniture.

JOHANNES FOERSOM (Denmark, 1947). Set of four chairs. Aluminium legs and leather upholstery (quince-coloured back, grey seat). They show signs of use. Measurements: 96 x 63 x 57 cm. The design of these chairs responds to the assimilation and renovation of the Scandinavian avant-garde language, bringing it back to contemporary tastes. The rectangular backrest harmonises with the cylindrical seats. The ensemble is defined by its formal purity, elegantly proportioned geometry and comfort. Johannes Foersom is a renowned furniture designer in contemporary Scandinavian design. The aim of his creations is to give them lasting value, stimulating healthy development for people and their surroundings. He has often worked in duo with designer Peter Hiort-Lorenzen. The couple strives for the highest quality in cooperation, process and product, and believes that knowledge and innovation are fundamental to the successful development of the firm. The exceptional use of flexibility makes the furniture appear as small architectural marvels. Throughout their careers, both designers have received numerous awards, among them: The Danish State Art's Fund (190,1972 and 1977), Kröyer's Memorial Award (1974, 1975), the Nationalbanken's Jubilee Fund (1980), the Annual Award of the Danish Furniture manufacturers (1985), Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen's Prize for high design quality (1992, 1994, 1995, 1999), the Forsnäs Prize (1994), Bo Bedre's Design Award (1995, 1996, 1997), the Best of Neocon (1995)); Bruno Mathsson Award (1998), the Excellet Swedish From the Table Atlas (2000) and the Finn Juhl Prize (2005).
