An early and profoundly expressive work by Giuseppe Rivadossi, this exceptional dining ensemble from the first production years of Officina Rivadossi captures the essence of Italian Brutalism in its most authentic and sculptural form.
The circular table, hewn entirely from solid oak, is anchored by a striking architectural base, its intersecting planes creating a powerful sense of rhythm and monumentality. The top, adorned with subtle geometric inlays, reveals the hand of a master deeply attuned to material and proportion. Conceived as a bespoke commission, the table was originally designed exclusively for a private villa in the Brescia area for a senior executive of Beretta Armi, adding a compelling layer of provenance and exclusivity to the piece.
Accompanied by four original chairs, equally crafted in solid oak, the set embodies Rivadossi’s early language — rigorous, tactile, and uncompromising. Notably, the chairs feature an exceptionally rare hand-carved diamond motif, a detail seldom encountered and widely regarded among the most desirable variations on the market today, elevating the ensemble to a true collector’s level. Each piece retains its original finish, never restored, preserving a rich, time-softened patina that speaks of integrity and rare preservation.
A highly coherent and early ensemble, distinguished by its sculptural presence, remarkable provenance, and exceptional craftsmanship, offering both historical importance and an unmistakable air of refined, architectural elegance.
