Cassina
Traccia Coffee Table
Price € 3.154,00
In 1971 Dino Gavino introduces "the functional work of art", inaugurating a new concept of furniture able to adapt the surrealist object to everyday use. From this influence the Cassina Ultramobile collection is born: an alternative and unconventional proposal capable of fueling the imagination and rational intelligence in its purest form. It is with this spirit that Meret Oppenheim designed in 1929 for the avant-garde gallery of Leo Castelli the Traccia coffee table, originally called the “Bird Leg Table”. The thin legs and claw paws in polished cast bronze are a clear tribute to the classic claw paws present in the furnishings of past centuries, revisited in a key that escapes the modern and throws itself into the futurism of the furniture. In the 1970s, the Simon International company created a version in a limited edition, which was then re-edited by Cassina in full compliance with the original model.

Founded in 1927 by the brothers Cesare and Umberto in the heart of Brianza furniture, Cassina is one of the long-lived Made in Italy industrial design companies. From the early ‘30s, Cassina brothers identified the strong demand for home furnishings and interpreted in a far-sighted way the renewed taste of the new emerging classes. From this intuition, Cassina started a real revolution in the indoor furnishings design. Since then, the company has been pursuing a path of research and innovation, involving prestigious designers and architects in the study of new furnishings models. In the last few years the collaboration with Gio Ponti has begun. Thanks to this partnership were born the 646 chair, known as Leggera, and the subsequent model 699 or Superleggera.Read more
Designed by
Meret Oppenheim
Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985) was a Swiss artist of German origins, the muse of the surrealist movement. She grew up in an environment rich in cultural stimuli, she was interested in art and psychoanalysis from an early age. She moved to Paris at the age of eighteen, she immediately entered the cultural milieu of the time, frequenting artists and writers such as Hans Arp, Alberto Giacometti, André Breton and Max Ernst. She soon became the most relevant female figure in the surrealist movement, which explored the unconscious and dreams through a dreamlike reversal of reality. She created prominent works such as the sculptures Déjeuner en fourrure and Ma Gouvernante and she was a model in some of Man Ray's most famous shots. In 1939 she also designed "fantastic furnishings" for an exhibition at Leo Castelli's gallery, including the "Coffee Table with Bird Legs" which was later rediscovered and brought to success in the 1970s by Dino Gavina with the re-edition for the Ultramobile collection of his Simon International (now merged into Cassina).Read more
