About the Item

The Putrella is a table centerpiece made from a semi-finished industrial product. Its archetypal form and expressive force is a prime example of Enzo Mari’s work. The piece is made of iron with transparent varnish and is produced in a limited edition of 100 pieces per year. Putrella was originally designed by Enzo Mari in 1958, this exemplar is a ri-edition produced by Danese Milano in 2009. Under the base is visible the edition of the piece 79/100 the year of production and the manufacturer's brand as well. Enzo Mari is one of the masters of Italian Design. Has always lived in Milan where he first moved to train as an artist. His work ranges from design to painting, from graphics to installation design. He has been both a university lecturer and a political activist. His characteristic style with its minimal forms and consistent use of materials is considered fundamental to the history of Italian design and the development of its role on the world stage. Mari worked with Danese Milano during a strong period of growth for the company and this allowed him to experiment with techniques, create installations, sculptures and products that became true milestones in the history of Italian design.

Luigi Saccardo UFO Pedestal Table in Steel and Glass by Maison Jansen 1970s

Luigi Saccardo UFO Pedestal Table in Steel and Glass by Maison Jansen 1970s

By Maison Jansen, Luigi Saccardo

Located in Cascina, Pisa

Round pedestal dining table model UFO with a base in brushed steel and tabletop in thick glass with a black enamel decorative circle. Designed by Luigi Saccardo and manufactured by Maison Jansen in the 1970s. Maison Jansen was a Paris-based interior decoration office founded in 1880 by Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen. From its beginnings, Maison Jansen combined traditional furnishings with influences of new trends including Anglo-Japanese style, the Arts and Crafts movement, and Turkish style. The firm paid great attention to historical research with which it attempted to balance clients' desires for livable, usable, and often dramatic space. Within ten years the firm had become a major purchaser of European antiques, and by 1890 had established an antique gallery as a separate firm that acquired and sold antiques to Jansen's clients and its competitors as well. In the early 1920s Jean-Henri Jansen approached Stéphane Boudin, who was then working in the textile trimming business owned by his father and brought him on board. Accounts of the arrangement vary. Speculation existed that Boudin was able to provide financial solvency to the prominent but capital-poor atelier. Boudin's attention to detail, concern for historical accuracy, and ability to create dramatic and memorable spaces brought increasing new work to the firm. Boudin was made director and presided over an expansion of the firm's offices and income. Not originally equipped with its own workrooms for producing furniture the firm began by relying upon antiques and the furniture contracted to outside cabinetmakers. By the early 1890s Maison Jansen had established its own manufacturing capacity producing furniture of contemporary design, as well as reproductions, primarily in the Louis XIV, Louis XVI, Directoire, and Empire styles. Throughout the firm's history, it employed a traditional style drawing upon European design, but influence of contemporary trends including the Vienna Secession, Modernism, and Art Deco has also appeared in Jansen interiors and in much of the custom furniture the firm produced between 1920 and 1950. Under Boudin's leadership, Maison Jansen provided services to the royal families of Belgium, Iran, and Serbia; Elsie de Wolfe, and Lady Olive Baillie's Leeds Castle...
