The Tweed table range is distinguished by its organic and irregular shape, characterised by a sophisticated surface processing of the material, which becomes its distinctive decorative feature. This particular item in the collection retains the original concept unchanged: to design with the natural veins of the material – originally wood and these days marble – in order to create a graphic sign in keeping with the diagonal line that separates the top in two, imitating a leaf.
When Aurelio Zanotta opened the doors to his eponymous label in 1954, its initial focus was on the production of sofas and armchairs which, at the time, were overwhelmingly the domain of upholstery workshops. But Zanotta’s vision far exceeded the largely utilitarian scope of local upholsterers. Beyond its surface functionality, he recognizedin furniture design a new form of cultural expression—a venerable creative outlet worthy of the same respect afforded to traditional artistic exploits like painting and sculpture. Bolstered by instinct, charisma, and a natural interest in emerging materials and technologies, his unique and, at the time, revolutionary path brought Zanotta into contact with some of the now legendary icons of Italian design.
