Fontana Arte Table with Wheels Decorative Glass Table

Tavolo con Ruote by FontanaArte, designed by Gae Aulenti in 1980, is one of the most iconic pieces of contemporary Italian design. Inspired by an industrial trolley originally used to transport glass within the company, this rectangular coffee table combines a thick ground float-glass top with industrial wheels and black painted metal brackets, creating a refined balance between industrial inspiration and timeless elegance.

The transparency of the glass and the distinctive wheel structure make Tavolo con Ruote a perfect statement piece for the living room, lounge areas and contemporary interiors. Its essential aesthetic and innovative concept led the table to become part of the permanent collections of the MoMA in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, confirming its status as a true FontanaArte design icon.
