The TAVOLINO 1932 stands as a seminal example of Italian modernist design, conceived by Gio Ponti and produced by the prestigious FontanaArte manufactory.

This architectural side table demonstrates Ponti's mastery of spatial composition through its innovative structural system: two transparent glass disks are suspended within a refined brushed nickel-plated metal framework, creating a composition that balances visual weightlessness with functional stability.

The design exemplifies the post-war Italian design movement's commitment to dematerialisation and geometric purity, in which each element serves both aesthetic and structural purposes.

The brushed nickel finish provides subtle warmth and prevents visual harshness, while the glass surfaces allow unobstructed sightlines that enhance spatial flow. This is a landmark piece for collectors and design historians, representing the intersection of industrial precision and artistic vision that defined FontanaArte's contribution to twentieth-century design.
