Photograph of the Serenissimo table designed by Lella Vignelli and Massimo Vignelli for Acerbis in 1984.
Text from design:Vignelli exhibition label:
Serenissimo Table; Acerbis, Italy 1985.
The Serenissimo table stresses the contrast between heavy, massive legs and a very thin top. The legs are made of steel, the surface of which has been coasted with “Venetian stucco,” a special blend of plaster and oxides which gives them a precious, uneven, handmade finish. The frame is natural steel and the floating top is sandblasted glass. The overall result has a great deal of refinement. Design development: David Law and Lodovico Acerbis.
