An industrial trolley used in the 'Fontana Arte' factory to transport glass: This was the object that inspired Gae Aulenti to create her 'Tavolo con Ruote'. It is an example of intuitive design that skips the drawing board stage and goes straight from the idea of an everyday object to a prototype.
This table on wheels replaces the wooden storage surface of the factory trolley with a chunky slab of bevelled glass - a tribute to the company's manufacturing history - and fits onto free-rolling industrial wheels. The nature of the object and its intended use are transformed by the replacement of a simple part.
Use the 'Tavolo con Ruote' as a coffee table or simply mounted on a room wall with a few artful objects.
