FontanaArte Tavolo con Ruote Rectangle Small

FontanaArte Tavolo con Ruote Rectangle Small

Gae Aulenti, 1980

An industrial trolley used at the FontanaArte plant to transport glass: this was the object that inspired Gae Aulenti to design her Tavolo con Ruote. It is a specimen of intuitive design that skips the drawing board stage and goes straight from the idea of an everyday item to the prototype stage. This wheeled table replaces the factory trolleyﾒs wooden shelf with a chunky sheet of beveled glass ﾖ a tribute to the companyﾒs production history ﾖ and fits free-rolling industrial wheels. The nature of the object and its intended use are transformed by replacing just one simple part.

Coffee table with ground float-glass top. Industrial wheels with painted metal brackets.
