Diego Dining Table

Description

The Diego Dining Table Base was designed for use with a glass, wood, copper, or brass top. Robust metal construction allows the base to carry the heaviest top without flexing. The surface of the metal is beautifully textured, as though it was sculpted by an artist. It is made by a casting process. Molten metal is poured into a sand mold that can only be used only once. The rough casting is painstakingly smoothed by a master craftsman. This is a long and laborious process requiring great skill and attention to detail. Such organic surface texture was widely used by Diego Giacometti (1902 – 1985) on his furniture and lighting creations. At the age of 80 Diego was tasked with designing the furniture and lighting for the Museé Picasso in Paris for which he created a series of bronze benches, tables, chairs, and lights. These pieces masterfully linked the classical building with the modern art on display. As a tribute to this gifted artist, this table was named for him. The table base is offered in a variety of finishes. Various top options are available. The Diego Dining Table was designed by Shah Gilani, ISFD. Custom sizing is available.
