Scope and Content

The project series documents the "Tavolo Sprofondo" a table designed by Pettena, possibly in 1980-1981, and produced in 2010. The table is shaped like an hourglass and the top gives the illusion of sinking in.

Inventories, received from the donor, list the dates for this project as 1980-1981. However, Gianni Pettena's website identifies the date of the project as 2010. During the arrangement of the project records, the dates from the inventory were chosen as project dates.

The project series contains plans, elevations and details of the table.
