Vintage Design
Traccia table was originally designed by Meret Oppenheim in 1939 for the Surrealist exhibition about the avant-garde furniture placed in Paris and organized by René Drouin and Leo Castelli.
In the 1971 it was produced by Dino Gavina, who launched in the same period what he called functional artwork, inaugurating a new approach of furnishing where surreal objects were adapted for everyday use.
These pieces complementing rational intelligence with a sense of wonder where geometry interacted with fantasy.
One of these pieces was the low table Traccia also named “Bird Leg
Table” for fairly obvious reasons.
The slim-line legs, and the taloned feet in polished cast bronze pay homage to the claw-foot furniture of the past.
