Alessandro Mendini for Zanotta - Rare Papilio Side Table - 1985

Rare Postmodern Papilio Side Table with 2 Tempered Glass Tops by Alessandro Mendini for Zanotta - 1980/1989. Nuova Alchimia Collection. Unique design: the irregular and cloud-like shapes of the glass layers reflect Mendini's whimsical and artistic approach, making these pieces not only functional but also sculptural. Alessandro Mendini believed in the emotional and narrative potential of design. He once said, "design should not only serve; it must inspire and tell stories." This side table, with its dynamic shape and layered elegance, embodies this philosophy, inviting conversation and admiration. Tempered glass top. Brushed steel legs. Length: 54 cm. Width: 45 cm. Height: 46 cm. In very good condition. This vintage/antique item shows no defects, but may have slight signs of use. Light wear consistent with age and use.
