Title:

Cone table design project (1971-1973)

Date:

1970-1979

Level of archival description:
Project
Extent and medium:
  • 13 drawings
    1 model
Scope and content:
Project series documents Poli's design for a Cone table, also called "Mizar" table, which was produced for Superstudio by Crystal Art in 1973. Poli dates this project as being from 1971-1973, however, some drawings appear to be dated 1979.
Material in this series features mainly sketches and drawings, many brightly coloured, some done in blue ink, and one large drawing in white on black cardstock. Not all notations appear to be in Poli's hand. One drawing also features an image (which appears to be a cut-out). The series also includes a model or prototype of the table design in glass and ceramic. A sketchbook with drawings related to this project has been catalogued with material from the Lamp for Flos project (see project AP148.S1.1971.PR02) - Poli notes that 48 pages of this red sketchbook feature drawings related to the Cone table project.
Reference number:

AP148.S1.1971.PR04
