About the Item

Attributed to Melchiorre Bega, dining table, copper, stained oak, stained wood, mirrored glass, Italy, circa 1950 A monumental and large dining table attributed to Italian designer Melchiorre Bega. This piece was made as a custom piece for a private villa in Bologna, Italy. The table is made in the late 1940s to early 1950s. The hefty top rests on two trapezoid shaped legs with a supporting wooden beam in between. This piece has amazing detailing, for starters the beautiful copper wiring around the rim of the top, and support team underneath the table. Around the rim there is mirror glass situated behind the copper, giving depth and creating an hazy and dreamlike beauty. The support beam is also decorated with copper in an undulating rhythm that disappears in the wood and comes to the surface again. This table is clearly a showstopper in an interior and offers plenty of space to enjoy time together with friends or family. Melchiorre Bega (1898-1976) was trained as an architect and later became a designer. He is known for his well-detailed functionalist, modern designs. Bega rejected the Art Deco style that prevailed during this time. He believed that many small elements would make a perfect whole, his style can therefore be seen as a graceful functionalism. For this reason, Bega worked with specialized craftsmen only. His style developed from the needs of human beings. In his early career, he focused on the renovation of old buildings. From 1923 onwards, Bega designed and co-managed a production factory that was founded by his father Vittorio around 1900. During the beginning of the 1940s Bega was the editor of the famous Domus magazine. Later in life he was the architect of many grand projects such as the Axel Springer Building in Berlin and the Galfa Tower in Milan.
