Scandiano, Reggio Emilia, Italy
Manufactured by Capo d’Opera srl., Paolo Bevenelli’s Ghost table is a design project born from shadows, contrasts, and transparencies that distort and influence perception while creating new dimensions: this table appears much smaller and lighter than it really is.
The design of Ghost has been awarded a 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
The effect is created by the tabletop’s particular circular finish which, fading into transparency, redefines its edges and limits.
The glass’s transparent border makes the table appear smaller than it actually is, contributing to the visual lightness of the object and the space that surrounds it.
The tabletop’s finish is created using an extremely high-definition digital printing process that, thanks to tempering treatment, is incorporated into the glass itself, resulting in a particular, unalterable effect over time.
This environmentally sustainable process is in line with current quality and life cycle legislation.
The painted metal base is completely removable and easily transportable. The table comes in various finishes and colors.
