Designed by Superstudio between 1969 and 1972, the Quaderna table belongs to one of the most consequential bodies of work in postwar Italian design. The collective, founded in Flor ence in 1966, used the grid as both a formal device and a provocation, a way of questioning what furniture could mean in a world oversaturated with objects. The table's surface is wrapped in Misura laminate, produced by Abet Print exclusively for the project. The white ground and black grid print create a volume that reads as pure geometry. It is not decoration. It is a position. White laminate printed with a black grid pattern (Misura by Abet Print) Strict rectangular form with no applied ornament Part of a complete Quaderna family including benches, shelving, and seating Produced by Zanotta continuously since its introduction The Quaderna table has been exhibited in permanent collections at MoMA and other institutions worldwide. It remains as conceptually charged today as when Superstudio first presented it, a rare quality in any designed object. Show more
