Table designed by Giuseppe Terragni (1904-1943) in 1929-1930. Re-edited by BD BARCELONA Giuseppe Terragni (April 18, 1904 - July 19, 1943) was born in the city of Meda in Lombardy. He worked primarily under the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini. He attended the Technical College in Como then studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano university. In 1927 he and his brother Attilio opened an office in Como where he also built the majority of his work. The brothers collaborated until Giuseppe's death of tuberculosis in 1943. A pioneer of the modern movement in Italy, Terragni produced some of its most significant buildings. A founding member of the fascist Gruppo 7 and a leading Italian Rationalist, Terragni fought to move architecture away from neo-classical and neo-baroque revivalism.

The armrests and backrest are supported by three red painted metal tubes that give the armchair an imposing look and create an Italian rationalist style. In fact it is designed according to proportions, volumetric impact and balance of the classical architectural space between art deco and Italian...
