Round table Tavolo a Dischi - When architecture becomes furnitureReissued by GUBI, the Tavolo a Dischi revives a cult work of Italian design history. Designed in 1963 by the famous architect Carlo De Carli (1910-1999), this table was conceived at a time when modernism was expressing itself in the quest for a perfect balance between aesthetics and structure. Inspired by Eero Saarinen's Tulip Table, which he admired, De Carli created an Italian response: a table with a sculptural silhouette, based on the principle of stacking, where each disc of wood dialogues with the next to form a continuous, organic curve. The sculpture of modern designA masterpiece of ingenuity, Tavolo a Dischi is composed of FSC-certified Birch plywood discs of varying thickness and diameter, stacked around a concealed metal core. This process gives the Table remarkable stability while creating an impression of visual lightness. The high-gloss lacquered Walnut veneer reveals all the richness of the wood's natural grain, while a band of burnished brass encircles the base to underline its architectural character. Each piece is crafted to the most exacting standards, in keeping with Carlo De Carli's original vision. The art of gatheringFrom the moment it was launched by manufacturer Luigi Sormani in 1963, the Tavolo a Dischi established itself as a visionary piece, hailed for its functional beauty and formal purity. A symbol of conviviality, its round shape embodies De Carli 's humanist philosophy: a table is not just an object, it's a place for meeting and sharing. It once sat in the designer's Desk at the Politecnico di Milano, hosting debates, meetings and discussions between architects and students. More than fifty years later, it continues to unite minds and eyes. A timeless icon of Italian designSculptural and refined, Tavolo a Dischi finds its natural place in contemporary interiors, elegant professional spaces or mid-century living rooms. Its geometric design and balanced presence interact with noble materials such as Leather, Glass and Marble. Alone or accompanied by GUBI's emblematic seats, it becomes the visual heart of the space, an anchor between functionality and emotion. Choosing Tavolo a Dischi means bringing home a piece of Italian design history. Reissued with the help of the De Carli family, this mythical table combines structural innovation, modernist heritage and timeless beauty. A manifesto in which form, material and human gesture merge in perfect harmony.

The Tavolo a Dischi is a standout piece thanks to its sculptural, layered wood design and timeless aesthetic, making it a great addition to both modern and mid-century inspired interiors. I love its versatility-it's perfect for creating a focal point in open-plan dining areas or adding warmth to a more neutral, minimalist space. Practical styling tips include pairing it with sleek, understated chairs to highlight its craftsmanship, or embracing a more eclectic look with bold, colourful seating. Its size and shape make it equally suited to intimate family dinners or more formal entertaining, while the natural wood finish ensures it adds organic texture to any setting.
