Overview
Refined game table designed by Pierluigi Molinari for Pozzi, made in Italy during the 1970s. An iconic piece representative of the sophisticated and experimental taste of Italian design of the period, where soft forms, innovative materials, and bold colors were used to create functional yet highly scenographic furniture.
Description
The table features a glossy powder-beige lacquered wooden structure, with rounded lines and full, almost architectural volumes. The square top is characterized by softened corners and a large central green felt insert, designed for card games and convivial use.
The contrast between the light glossy surface of the structure and the intense green of the playing top gives the table a highly distinctive visual presence, elegant yet playful.
Design & Function
Particularly interesting are the four legs, conceived as integrated rotating storage elements. Each support rotates on itself and features a rounded, compact structure with open side compartments internally lined in green felt, creating a refined chromatic dialogue with the upper playing surface.
This solution makes the table not only a functional object, but also a small furnishing system designed for practical and convivial use.
Materials & Aesthetic
Pierluigi Molinari’s design for Pozzi stands out for its ability to combine pop aesthetics, functionality, and formal quality.
The balanced proportions, glossy surfaces, rounded corners, and green felt detail give this table a strong personality, making it perfect for a living room, game room, study, or interior with a refined and unconventional taste.
