Tavolo 778 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Cassina

A masterpiece of cabinet-making and a perfect expression of Italian rationalist design, the 778 Table by Afra Scarpa and Tobia Scarpa for Cassina represents one of the highest achievements of their design research. A piece of furniture that combines formal rigor, constructive intelligence, and an extraordinary attention to daily functionality.

Designed in 1975, the table stands out for its iconic book-opening system, a solution as simple as it is sophisticated. The tabletop, perfectly calibrated in its proportions, doubles in size thanks to a precise system of concealed hinges, allowing the surface to be extended with a fluid and natural motion. It is precisely in this balance between engineering and aesthetic purity that the Scarpa philosophy is manifested: a cultured, essential design where every technical detail becomes an integral part of the formal language.

The walnut wood structure expresses all the quality of artisanal craftsmanship, with warm and textured surfaces that interact with the purity of the lines. A table designed to last, capable of elegantly adapting to different living contexts.

The item is in excellent condition: the structure is solid and stable, while the walnut surfaces have been treated with professional products that enhance their grain, while preserving the original patina. The opening mechanism is fluid and precise, testifying to careful and meticulous preservation.

An iconic and highly functional piece, ideal for those seeking a designer table capable of combining aesthetics, practicality, and historical value.
