Coffee table by Giuseppe Scapinelli in teak and glass, Brazil, 1950s.

This coffee table by Giuseppe Scapinelli, made in the 1950s, illustrates the designer's characteristic attention to materials and forms. The table combines a glass top with a sculptural wooden base, likely made of Brazilian hardwood, showcasing rich natural grain and precise joinery. The tapered, spindle-type legs connect harmoniously to a lower wooden shelf, providing both structural support and functional storage. The table has been fully restored due to damage to the veneer; you will still see some traces, but the work has been very well done. A bit more about the designer: Giuseppe Scapinelli was a designer born in Italy who settled in Brazil, where he became a key figure in mid-century design. His work often blended European modernist principles with Brazilian craftsmanship and materials, creating furniture that balances function and form. This coffee table is a clear representation of his approach, emphasizing clean lines and thoughtful design. With its practical design and strong aesthetic presence, this coffee table is an excellent choice for collectors and anyone looking to add a timeless piece to their interior. Dimensions.
