BURGUNDY

With its dappled surface juxtaposed with the blue color of the metal supports, Burgundy opens the way to elegant, marvelous kitsch.

Designed in 1985 by Michele De Lucchi, Burgundy is a table in wood clad in decorative laminate, with legs in blue powder-coated metal that play with the “Mucca” pattern of the top (by the same designer) and the border.

With Burgundy De Lucchi offers a reinterpretation of the idea of the table. Made in the era of the first mobile phones and the consumerism of the 1980s, this design reflects on the symbolic meanings of the “table”: an emblem of the stability of the family, and at the same time a mirror for the triviality of the outside world.

Michele De Lucchi is an Italian designer and architect. In 1975, he graduated in Architecture from the University of Florence, where from 1975 to 1977 he worked as an assistant to Adolfo Natalini, founder of Superstudio. Between the late 1970s and the 1980s, he was a leading figure in Radical Architecture and participated in the most important Italian design movements of the time. He was a co-founder of Memphis, with which he collaborated from 1981 to 1987. De Lucchi's numerous award-winning projects are created in collaboration with renowned Italian and international furniture brands. In 1990, he founded Produzione Privata with the aim of combining an experimental approach with traditional artisanal techniques and processes. He has curated numerous art and design exhibitions and designed museum buildings such as the Triennale di Milano, the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, and the Neues Museum in Berlin.
