Samo Granite Dining Table by Carlo Scarpa, Italy 1970s

Sculptural Italian Dining Table in Granite

The Samo table, designed by Carlo Scarpa in the 1970s for Simon Gavina’s Ultrarazionale collection, is one of the most striking examples of Italian postmodern furniture. Featuring an oval granite top balanced on two monumental fluted stone bases, it embodies Scarpa’s architectural sensitivity and ability to transform pure geometry into timeless design.

Carlo Scarpa’s architectural vision

Recognized as one of the most important Italian architects and designers of the 20th century, Carlo Scarpa (1906–1978) was celebrated for his ability to combine modernist rigor with poetic craftsmanship. The Samo table reflects his deep interest in materials, proportion, and structure—where the fluted granite columns recall classical architecture, while the floating granite top creates an interplay of balance and weight.

Collectible postmodern Italian design

Highly sought after by collectors, the Samo table remains a centerpiece in the history of Italian design. Its sculptural presence makes it suitable for both residential interiors and executive spaces, ensuring enduring relevance across decades. As a rare 1970s design, it continues to embody the innovation and craftsmanship of Scarpa’s vision.
