A striking example of Italian mid-century design, this 1970s table by Luciano Frigerio showcases the sculptural elegance and refined materiality for which the designer is celebrated. The piece features a hammered bronze structure, meticulously crafted with Frigerio’s signature textural richness. The rhythmic, hand-worked surface gives the bronze an architectural presence, catching the light in subtle, dynamic ways.
The base supports a sleek glass top, creating a sophisticated contrast between transparency and the warm, sculptural depth of the bronze. This interplay of materials highlights the designer’s mastery of metalwork and his ability to blend brutalist influences with refined modernist sensibilities.
Both functional and artistic, the table serves beautifully as a centerpiece in a living room, entryway, or gallery-like interior. A collectible work from one of Italy’s most distinctive mid-century creators.
Luciano Frigerio was an Italian designer and composer born in Desio, Italy. His father, Giovanni, established a small cabinet-making workshop in 1889, where Frigerio’s passion for craftsmanship took root. After completing his studies in accounting at the Pio XI College, Frigerio cultivated two lifelong passions: furniture design and music composition. In the 1960s, Frigerio transformed his family’s small workshop into a renowned company, Frigerio di Desio, establishing a global reputation. He drew inspiration from Italian design masters such as Gio Ponti, Franco Albini, and Carlo De Carli. Frigerio’s most recognised contribution was his "Mobili Scultura" (Furniture Sculpture) and "Letti Scultura" (Sculpted Beds), which fused materials like solid wood and bronze, creating unique and artistic furniture removed from the mass-produced items of the time.In 1973, Frigerio was awarded the prestigious title of Commendatore della Repubblica Italiana and later, in 1989, he was named Cavaliere dell'Ordine Equestre del Santo Sepolcro di Gerusalemme. His work was exhibited in prominent Italian art galleries and international furniture fairs.
