The Traccia Table, designed by Swiss surrealist Meret Oppenheim in 1939 and produced by Cassina as part of their prestigious “I Maestri” collection. This recent edition is made entirely of gold-coloured metal; both the etched top and the characteristic bird legs are finished in a warm, gold tone, which gives the table a sculptural and almost mythical character.
The oval table top is subtly engraved with bird tracks, like a surreal trail of an invisible, passing guest. The two finely crafted legs, in the shape of gilded bird legs, balance elegantly between lifelike realism and dreamlike alienation.
The table is in excellent condition and forms a perfect dialogue between art and design. The Traccia Table is signed.
