Valmarana by Carlo Scarpa for Gavina

The Valmarana table by Carlo Scarpa for Gavina, designed in the 1970s, is a distilled expression of Scarpa’s architectural language, where structure and detail are conceived as a unified composition. Defined by a rigorous arrangement of planes, the table emphasizes proportion, junction, and material continuity. Executed entirely in wood, its construction foregrounds Scarpa’s sensitivity to grain, joinery, and surface articulation. The interplay of horizontal and vertical elements generates a subtle spatial tension, while precise offsets and layered components introduce a quiet dynamism within an otherwise restrained geometry. Devoid of superfluous ornament, the Valmarana table reveals its complexity through detail and proportion alone. An object in which craftsmanship and architectural thinking converge with exceptional clarity. The table fits up to 8 seats. Condition: Very good vintage condition. Material: Wood. Designer: Carlo Scarpa. Model: Valmarana. Manufacturer: Gavina. Design year: 1970s. Dimensions: 250 × 77 × 72 cm.
