MANZÙ TABLE Collection

Pio Manzù, 2018

In keeping with the philosophy of the original product designed by Pio Manzù for the Agnelli family in Rome, Alias presents the MANZÙ TABLE, a collection of tables with a central leg in a sculptural style.
The table’s frame, made of compact polyurethane, supports the circular table top composed of two elements: the crown, made of painted MDF, and the central circle, made of anodised aluminium or marble, which rotates to perform different functions during times of conviviality.
MANZÙ TABLE reflects Alias's ability to select an object from the past, with a great innovative impact, and transfer it to the contemporary world with touches that make it extremely modern.

Pio Manzù

(1939-1969) Son of the sculptor Giacomo Manzù, he graduated from the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm. In 1967 he became consultant at Fiat, for which he designed the City Taxi, the Autobianchi Coupé and the Fiat 127. He devoted himself to the design of objects such as Cronotime, produced by Ritz Italora, the Parentesi lamp for Flos, the Portaoggetti desk holder for Kartell. The “poltrona fisiologica”, designed in 1967 for La Rinascente, the one-leg table, designed for Agnelli's home in Rome, were respectively produced by Alias in 2011 and 2018. Pio Manzù was a true pioneer of ergonomics through rigorous design and mastery of technology.
