Side table by Giuseppe Scapinelli in wood and glass, Brazil, 1950s.

Giuseppe Scapinelli side table, made of wood and glass, Brazil, 1950s. This sculptural side table by Giuseppe Scapinelli was made in Brazil in the 1950s. The piece is crafted from solid wood with a glass top and illustrates Scapinelli's signature approach to form—elegant, yet with a distinct sense of movement. The structure features gently curved legs that taper into hoof-shaped ends, connected by dynamic stretchers, one of which incorporates metal rods. The glass top rests securely in sculpted wooden edges that also serve as subtle decorative accents. Scapinelli was a designer born in Italy who became an important figure in the mid-century modernist movement in Brazil. His work often merges European craftsmanship with Brazilian materials and a certain sculptural rhythm, clearly visible in this table. This model, although less known than his large cabinets or lounge chairs, shows the same attention to proportions and details. It is functional, yet has just enough character to stand out—ideal as a side table or occasional table in a space that values both craftsmanship and form. Dimensions. Width: 53 cm. Height: 54 cm.
