‘MARVIN’ TABLE

by Rodolfo Dordoni, for Minotti

Minotti’s art director Rodolfo Dordoni has produced many iconic pieces for the brand over the years, and he shows no signs of slowing: his latest work is a table designed to fit anywhere, from private residences to corporate meeting rooms. ‘I wanted a sleek sculptural base with a precise geometrical design that could instinctively dialogue with a round tabletop as well as rectangular ones,’ says Dordoni. The base, formed from a series of quarter circles, comes in a satin-finish stainless steel or pewter-coloured varnished metal, with distinctive black inserts on the edges, while the top is available in Bianco Nero marble, for a strong, modern feel; a more subdued Marron Damasco marble; or a black lacquered ash veneer with a contoured ash border. Pictured here with Gamfratesi’s new ‘Lido’ chairs for Minotti, the result is a pleasingly smooth piece that looks like a contemporary twist on a 1970s classic.
