Very good condition.This table is part of the permanent collection of the Corning Museum of Glass: ”green transparent blue glass, wood; folded, laser cut, assembled. Low form with a rectangular plan that curve downwards at an angle on one side with four tapered feet wood’ Fabio Di Bartolomei was born in Udine Italy, the town in which he still lives. In 1979 Di Bartolomei set up his own studio and later established international contacts which led to the opening of satellite offices in New York-USA, Warsaw-PL and in Brisbane Brendale QLD-AU. The primary subjects of his creative thought, to which he gives great importance, are the daily needs of each individual in relation to his habitat. With this in mind, Di Bartolomei starts his research for the right balance between image and functionality. The expression of this can also be seen in his design works which he believes must always suit the functions for which they were intended. He feels that in a project, beauty, though important, it is not the main purpose of a designer’s expression. First of all, he should conceptualise and then create objects for living. So in 1996 he designed the tango coffee table for Fiam Italy. Beautiful design and fully functional. This table is in good condition consistent with age and use.
