Gubi Tavolo a Dischi Dining Table

Designed in 1963 by influential Italian architect Carlo De Carli, the Tavolo a Dischi Dining Table is a striking union of structural ingenuity and refined materiality. Its base is ingeniously constructed from 3cm-thick birch plywood discs of varying diameters, stacked around a concealed metal core to form an elegant sculptural curve. This distinctive silhouette rises to support a generous tabletop finished in American walnut veneer, resulting in a piece that feels as much like a work of art as a functional table.

A burnished brass-toned steel band wraps around the base, introducing a warm material contrast while offering practical protection to the plywood discs beneath. The birch plywood used in construction is FSC® Mix-certified, sourced from responsibly managed forests, underscoring GUBI's commitment to considered, sustainable craftsmanship without compromising on design integrity.

The Tavolo a Dischi is available in two sizes, Ø120 cm and Ø150 cm, comfortably seating up to six people and adapting easily to intimate dinners or larger gatherings. De Carli believed that a dining table's true purpose was not merely practical, but social: a forum for encounter and exchange. The round form of this table embodies that philosophy, creating an egalitarian, inclusive space where every seat feels equally close to the conversation.

Equally suited to daily dining, meetings, or special occasions, the Tavolo a Dischi stands as a timeless centerpiece, bringing people together and fostering connection, conversation, and shared moments around the table.
