Aulenti graduated from the Politecnico di Milano in 1953 and worked across architecture, interiors, industrial design and theatre; her architectural work includes the Musée d'Orsay installations and the renovation of Palazzo Grassi in Venice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat inspired Gae Aulenti's Tavolo con Ruote table?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn industrial trolley used at the FontanaArte plant to transport glass. Aulenti went straight from that everyday object to a prototype, skipping the drawing board. She replaced the trolley's wooden shelf with a chunky sheet of glass, a tribute to the company's production history, and kept free-rolling industrial wheels, transforming the object's nature and use by changing one simple part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the FontanaArte Tavolo con Ruote table made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FontanaArte Tavolo con Ruote table has a ground float-glass top set on industrial wheels with painted metal brackets. The finish is transparent glass with black wheels, so the heavy glass sheet appears to float above the four wheels, giving the table its distinctly industrial, gallery-like character in a contemporary or loft interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the FontanaArte Tavolo con Ruote coffee table roll?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The FontanaArte Tavolo con Ruote coffee table is fitted with free-rolling industrial wheels, one at each corner, mounted on painted metal brackets that hold the glass top. The wheels are the heart of Gae Aulenti's design, carried over directly from the factory trolley that originally moved sheets of glass around the FontanaArte plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sizes does the FontanaArte Tavolo con Ruote table come in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FontanaArte Tavolo con Ruote table comes in six sizes. Rectangular: 55.1 x 27.6 in (140 x 70 cm) and 59.1 x 39.4 in (150 x 100 cm). Square: 39.4 x 39.4 in (100 x 100 cm), 43.3 x 43.3 in (110 x 110 cm), 47.2 x 47.2 in (120 x 120 cm) and 59.1 x 59.1 in (150 x 150 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow tall is the FontanaArte Tavolo con Ruote coffee table?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FontanaArte Tavolo con Ruote coffee table stands 9.8 in (24.9 cm) high, according to the size table shown in the photo gallery. That low height, set by the glass top resting on its industrial wheels, places it firmly as a coffee table in front of a sofa or sectional, in any of its six rectangular and square sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Tavolo con Ruote suit a modern interior?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transparent ground float-glass top keeps the FontanaArte Tavolo con Ruote visually light, while the black industrial wheels and painted metal brackets give it a raw, factory-born edge. It sits naturally in minimalist living rooms and lofts, and as a 1980 Gae Aulenti design still made in Milano, it brings a piece of Italian design history to the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips From Italy 🇮🇹.
