‘Il Colonnato’ Dining Table in Red Persian Travertine by Mario Bellini for Cassina, Italy 1970s
An ‘Il Colonnato’ dining table designed by Mario Bellini for Cassina in the 1970s. This table was inspired by the colonnades of classical architecture, in which a sequence of columns supports a portico. Its profile changes from different viewpoints, allowing the columns to appear overlapping or separate.
It was constructed using Persian red travertine with gorgeous veining in a range of coral, orange and pink hues. It features a square table top and stands on five solid cylindrical marble legs. The legs are elegantly tapered legs, a technique only achieved by experienced marble sculptors. The legs can be repositioned at various positions to support the table top. It seats four comfortably. Unmarked. Sourced in Italy, 1970s.
