Unifor Consiglio Table

CONSIGLIO TABLE
Designed By Aldo Rossi
Designed for the first time for Aldo Rossi's milanese office in 1991, Consiglio was later also featured in the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht.
It is a solid wood table with an essential shape, rectangular or square, which can be made to measure in different sizes and finishes. Consiglio is also characterised by its clean lines and structural study, which allows the design of large meeting tables of over 3 metres in length.
The Consiglio table (1991-1994) was originally designed by Aldo Rossi for his Milanese studio on Via S. Maria alla Porta. An essential architecture that becomes “domestic” when its proportions are reduced, without losing its monumental
character
Entirely finished in American cherry wood, the Consiglio table has an aluminium internal structure which guarantees its maximum stability on the larger dimensions. The legs, square in section and with rounded edges, are slightly set back from the corners of the tabletop, available in rectangular and square shape.
Consiglio, with its clean lines and structural strength, allows the design of large meeting tables and fits easily in both corporate and domestic ambiences.
DESIGNER
ALDO ROSSI
Aldo Rossi (1931-1997) was born in Milan, where he graduated in architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. In 1970 he began teaching at several American universities, including Harvard and Yale. He held a number of prestigious positions, including director of the architecture section of the Venice Biennale in 1983, while dividing his architecture practice between public and private construction.
To mention just a few of his projects, the residential building in the Gallaratese district of Milan, the Cemetery of San Cataldo in Modena, the renovation of the Teatro Carlo Felice opera house in Genoa, the city block between Kochstrasse and Friedrichstrasse in Berlin, the reconstruction of Teatro La Fenice opera house in Venice, and the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht.
Architect and theorist, named Accademico di San Luca in 1979, winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize 1990 and the Thomas Jefferson Medal in Architecture in 1991, Aldo Rossi is also famous for his work as a designer—collaborating with Alessi, Artemide, Longoni, Molteni and UniFor—and as a painter and graphic artist, two fields closely tied to his design work.
