Fontana Arte Table with Wheels square glass table

Tavolo con Ruote by FontanaArte, designed by Gae Aulenti in 1980, reinterprets industrial design through an elegant and timeless aesthetic. Inspired by the trolleys used inside the FontanaArte factory to transport glass, the project replaces the original wooden shelf with a thick ground float-glass top supported by industrial wheels with black painted metal brackets.

The square version enhances the visual lightness of glass and the strong graphic identity of the wheel structure, making it ideal for contemporary living areas, lounge spaces and design-focused interiors. Thanks to its historical relevance and unmistakable style, Tavolo con Ruote is included in the permanent collections of the MoMA in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, becoming one of the most celebrated FontanaArte creations.
