Wittmann Antilles rosso table

Description

The Antilles Table in Rosso Asiago by Luca Nichetto translates the extravagant brooches of Josef Hoffmann’s Wiener Werkstätte into sculptural furniture form. This side table presents an elliptical plate in rare Rosso Asiago marble, embodying the colorful, timelessly beautiful character of traditional Viennese jewelry making at dining table height.

Design Inspiration & Philosophy

Nichetto’s translation of Hoffmann’s precious brooches into the Antilles collection captures not merely aesthetic reference but the underlying philosophy of refined artistry applied to everyday objects. The colorful, timelessly beautiful jewelry from around 1900, made in traditional Wiener Werkstätte fashion, inspired this extraordinary table collection where elliptical plates can be arranged into each other, playfully creating very special tablescapes.

Rosso Asiago Marble

The table showcases Rosso Asiago marble, an Italian stone distinguished by its warm red tones interspersed with white veining and occasional fossil inclusions. Quarried in the Veneto region, this marble presents colour ranging from coral pink to deep burgundy, often within a single slab. The natural variation creates unique character in each table, with the stone’s warm palette providing striking contrast to the black leather base.

Scale & Proportion

This variant measures 76cm x 60cm with a 45cm height, positioning it at dining table scale rather than traditional side table proportions. The elliptical form maintains elegant proportions at this larger size, with the extended dimensions enabling the table to serve dining functions or act as substantial side table for larger sofas and seating arrangements. The pedestal covered in black leather provides visual grounding.

Variable Arrangements

The Antilles collection’s design enables diverse compositional strategies:

– Single tables function as dining surfaces for intimate meals or work areas

– Multiple tables group to create extended dining or display surfaces

– Different stone varieties compose together for precious colour arrangements

– Varied heights within the collection enable layered, sculptural tablescapes

Perfect For

– Dining areas seeking sculptural tables with warm Italian marble character

– Living spaces requiring substantial side tables at generous scale

– Interiors referencing Viennese Secession design whilst embracing Italian materials

– Contemporary settings valuing rare stone varieties and natural variation

– Design focused environments composing multiple Antilles tables into custom arrangements

The Antilles Rosso Table brings the precious quality of Wiener Werkstätte artistry to functional scale, presenting rare Rosso Asiago marble in elegant elliptical form.
