Aldo Tura Nesting Tables
Set of three Aldo Tura nesting tables in brown lacquered goatskin and executed circa 1975 in a somewhat soft style, but – as strong contrast – is covered with a brown tanned parchment. Along with artists like Piero Fornasetti and Carlo Bugatti, Aldo Tura (1909-1963) definitely belonged to the mavericks of Italian design. Whereas the former chose abundant figurative decorations as his hallmark, Bugatti and Tura focussed on applying a specific material. Tura founded his workshop in Milan in 1939 and the company has been in operation ever since.
