Nomos circular table – Design Norman Foster (1986) – Original production Tecno

An absolute masterpiece of contemporary design engineering, of extraordinary collectible value: the legendary Nomos table in its rare and prestigious version with a circular black back-painted glass top (generous diameter of 120 cm). Conceived by Master Norman Foster in 1986 and originally developed as a cutting-edge office architecture for Foster + Partners studio, the Nomos is today the global emblem of hi-tech applied to furniture, a functional work of art that redefines the concept of a dining or meeting table. A piece whose iconic and productive value makes it an investment destined to grow over time.

Design and History: The Aesthetics of Space Engineering

The Nomos represents the sublime synthesis of industrial aesthetics and architectural precision.

Visible engineering mastery: the unmistakable signature of this model is the complex and spectacular supporting structure, made entirely of chrome-plated steel with articulated feet. The design is inspired by the Apollo moon landing and modular space structures. Every element, from the articulated pins to the adjustable suction cup feet, is exposed and celebrated as a fundamental part of the aesthetic, telling the story of engineering that doesn't hide.

Sculptural proportions and visual balance: Norman Foster was able to calibrate the table's geometries by introducing absolute visual clarity. The 'spider' structure supports the large circular top with an apparent lightness that contrasts with its monumental robustness. The top, with its dark finish, floats above the structure, transforming the table into a true sculpture for the living area or study.

Condition:

This example is not just a used piece of furniture, but an exceptional piece that retains the full integrity of its futuristic design.

Top: the black back-painted glass surface is in excellent condition of use and shows only minimal and physiological signs of time that only confirm the authenticity and historical charm of the object.

Structure: the complex chrome-plated steel structure is solid, robust and perfectly aligned. The mechanisms of the joints and feet maintain perfect functionality, guaranteeing the same stability and precision as on day one.

Cleaning: the table has been entirely cleaned and polished with specific products to preserve the brilliance of the steel and the transparency of the glass.
