Osvaldo Borsani T69 Dining Table

T69 Mid-Century Modern Dining Table by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno, Italy — Original Glass Top

A bold and sculptural icon of Italian modernism, this T69 dining table was designed in the 1960s by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno, Italy. This striking piece features a dramatic base composed of four elegantly curved legs, meticulously cast in solid aluminium. The architectural quality of the base reflects Borsani’s lifelong interest in merging art, engineering, and industrial design.

The table comes with its original circular glass top, which rests gracefully on four integrated aluminium arms extending from the central support. Its graceful silhouette and innovative structure make the T69 a timeless centerpiece for dining or design-forward interiors.

About Osvaldo Borsani

Osvaldo Borsani (1911–1985) was an Italian architect and designer whose work helped shape the postwar Italian design movement.

About Tecno

Tecno, founded in 1953 by Osvaldo and Fulgenzio Borsani, became a pioneer in the industrial design revolution in Italy.

Why This Piece Stands Out

The T69 table exemplifies the synergy between form and function. Its cast aluminium base offers durability and a distinctive visual lightness, while the original glass top preserves its authentic character. Whether placed in a dining room, studio, or curated interior, it stands as a powerful example of 20th-century Italian design excellence.

Osvaldo Borsani (Varedo 1911- Milano 1985) began work at an early age in the family business of making furniture. In 1933 he participated in the fifth Triennale of Milan with the design for the “ Minimal House”, which was awarded the silver medal. In the post-war period, after graduation from Polytechnic, he formed friendships with numerous artists like Lucio Fontana, Agenore Fabbri, Aligi Sassu, Roberto Crippa, Fausto Melotti, and Arnaldo Pomodoro, together with whom he realized important works of art in furnishing and interior architecture. In 1953, along with his brother Fulgenzio, he founded Tecno, the great project for which he worked his whole life in order to develop standard production with reference to that of design. His first Industrial designs were the P40 adjustable armchair (1953) and the D70 reversible seat sofa. In 1968 it was the office system Graphis (together with Eugenio Gerli and coming into vogue around the world in a million copies) thanks to which Tecno became a world-leading manufacturer in design for the office. At the end of the Sixties, Osvaldo Borsani, together with Marco Fantoni and Valeria Borsani, created the Tecno Designs Centre, which creates new products and secures for the company the supervision of large interior architectural works, the experimentation in new technologies, and the strategies and the tools of business communication. At the same time Borsani opened up the design to collective uses and to the contribution of external designers.
