The sculptural coffee table model C10T designed by Nerone & Patuzzi and manufactured by Forme & Superfici in Italy in 1972 is a remarkable example of mid-century modern design. Crafted from solid walnut pieces, dark stained, with intricate led details, this unique piece showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of its creators. The original glass top, preserved in good condition, maintains the table’s authentic charm. As part of the production run of only 200 pieces, this table is numbered 75, making it a rare collector’s item.
Hand-signed and numbered on the LED portion at the top, the table remains in its original condition, exhibiting a beautiful patina. The dark-stained wood has a warm tone, adding to the table’s stunning character. The sculptural base is a true masterpiece, featuring strong geometric forms that create an architectonic aesthetic like a landscape or architectural building. The asymmetrical arrangement of various sizes and shapes gives it a dynamic and captivating appearance.
Gruppo NP2, the artistic collective behind this design, was an influential force in the Torino area. Known for their innovative and avant-garde approach, the group made significant contributions to the art scene during their active years. Led by talented artists Nerone Ceccarelli and Gianni Patuzzi, Gruppo NP2 left a lasting impact with their unique style and creative endeavors. Their work often featured a fusion of geometrical forms and abstract elements, captivating viewers with their artistic expression and experimentation. Gruppo NP2’s commitment to pushing artistic boundaries and embracing new techniques played a vital role in shaping the art landscape of the region. Their legacy continues to inspire and resonate with art enthusiasts, showcasing the power of collaboration and artistic innovation.
