Luigi Massoni for Mobilia — “Clessidra” Dining Table, circa 1959, an exceptionally elegant and increasingly sought-after example of post-war Italian design.
The generous circular top is supported by Massoni’s remarkable hourglass pedestal: a beautifully resolved sculptural form whose slender waist opens gracefully towards the floor. Executed in Italian walnut and finished in a warm honey tone, the table possesses a richness and luminosity particularly suited to the purity of its silhouette.
A design of considerable presence, Clessidra unites architectural discipline with the sensuality and superb cabinetmaking for which Italian furniture of the period remains unrivalled.
Italy, circa 1959.
