Polished Walnut, with three curvaceous cabriole legs beneath veneered top of angled application, the serpentine-shaped apron above connecting lower shelf
Italy, circa 1950
Rava was especially interested in console tables due to their dynamic architectural quality and connection to the wall, almost like an extension of the room. His was an architecture committed to a new modernism and its relationship to the furniture that inhabited it. The specific structural quality of the console as an object became a mathematical challenge that captured Rava as he moved away from rationalist principles towards experimentation and interest in the decorative.
Also a symbol of power and hierarchical taste, the console table became an appropriate motif for a designer famous for his designs of structural simplicity and innovation for the Modernist elite
