Alberto Table Inspired By Oscar Niemeyer
To say that Oscar Niemeyer was a living legend would be an understatement. This incredible modern architect, which is one of Carlo Donati’s biggest role models, spanned over a century and his career took him in and out of the developing world. He was responsible for about 600 design projects that can be counted as masterpieces, in different places in the world, from Rio de Janeiro and Algeria to Paraná and Paris.
The modern Alvorada Palace and its unique facade were the kick-offs that Carlo Donati needed for coming up with the idea of Essential Home’s Alberto Table. This unique building is the official residence of the President of Brazil and is located in the national capital of Brasília, on a peninsula at the margins of Paranoá Lake. Designed by Oscar Niemeyer and built between 1957 and 1958 in the modernist style, the modern architecture design project is listed as a National Historic Heritage Site.
Named after one of the best Italian cinema personalities (Alberto Sordi), this unique dining table design by Carlo Donati features smooth curvilinear lines of the wooden legs of this unique furniture piece that take inspiration from the architectural shapes of Oscar Niemeyer’s concrete structures.
