Claudio Salocchi SC/66 Luigi Sormani Table with Openable Top 1965 Mogan

Extendable table model SC/66, designed by Claudio Salocchi and produced by Luigi Sormani in Italy in 1965. It is a rare piece of Italian design from the 1960s, combining formal rigor and great functionality. It is made of mahogany, with a rectangular drop-leaf top. When closed, it is an elegant console table, ideal against a wall, in an entrance, or as a desk. When opened, the top unfolds and doubles in depth, becoming a true dining table. The opening mechanism works with a system of sliding metal guides fixed under the top: the top rotates and rests on the structure in a simple and stable manner. The portal legs, made of solid mahogany, are connected by crossbars at the base, giving the table a clean and architectural design.
