Carlo Scarpa dining table model Delfi in white marble.

Dining table "Delfi," designed by Carlo Scarpa and Marcel Breuer and produced by the Italian manufacturer Studio Simon in 1969. Made of crystalline white marble, it is a rarer version than the one made of Naxos marble. Designed in 1969, the marble table originally consisted of three pieces (its two legs and the top). Delfi is a reinterpretation of the original by Marcel Breuer from the 1930s, which Carlo Scarpa worked on with Marcel Breuer to modify for industrial production by Simon. In 1968, when Dino Gavina, to whom Marcel Breuer had given the original table, saw Carlo Scarpa's interest in it, he suggested they try making some modifications. Carlo Scarpa made only slight changes, working only on the opening holes at the center of its immense monolithic legs, giving the whole piece a more rationalist appeal and adding to its highly poetic presence. A masterful piece! Condition report: it is in very good condition considering its age, with some minor traces due to use.
