An exceptional early production “Doge” dining table designed by Carlo Scarpa in 1968 for Simon Gavina, Italy.
One of the most celebrated examples of Italian modernist furniture design, the Doge table exemplifies Scarpa’s extraordinary sensitivity to materials, architectural proportion, and structural detailing.
The design features a substantial rectangular glass top resting on a sculptural architectural base composed of precisely engineered metal elements. The exposed construction, distinctive industrial fastenings, and interplay of solid and transparent materials reflect Scarpa’s singular approach to furniture as architecture.
Originally produced by Simon Gavina as part of the Ultrarazionale collection, the Doge represents a pivotal moment in late-1960s Italian design, combining the rigor of modernism with Scarpa’s characteristic attention to craftsmanship and material expression.
An enduring icon of twentieth-century design, the Doge table is equally compelling as a functional dining table or a monumental centerpiece in a curated interior.
