'Tavola Apparecchiata (Set Table)' Dining Table, circa 1970
The present round table top design, 'Tavola Apparecchiata' depicts a setting for four people. Of this size (115 cm diameter), Fornasetti produced 29 designs from the early 1950s to the late 1960s. A very limited edition of 'Tavola Apparecchiata' was released in the 1990s, however, the present table appears to be of the original release.
