A distinguished original dining table — the "Gran Tucano" — designed by Marc Berthier (French, born 1935) for Magis, the celebrated Italian design manufacturer. Wood marquetry top set on four elegantly arched aluminium legs. Signed on the side of a leg: Gran Tucano Magis Design Berthier Made in Italy. 72" L × 31" W × 29" H.

Marc Berthier is one of the most significant French industrial designers of the postwar era — a designer whose career spans product design, furniture, and architecture, and whose work has been exhibited at the Centre Pompidou and collected internationally. He is perhaps best known for his iconic Ozoo children's furniture system of the early 1970s, but his collaborations with Italian manufacturers including Magis produced some of his most refined and sought-after furniture.

Magis is one of Italy's premier contemporary design manufacturers — a company that has collaborated with designers including Jasper Morrison, Konstantin Grcic, Tom Dixon, and Marcel Wanders, consistently producing objects that occupy the intersection of manufacturing precision and design ambition. A Berthier piece for Magis carries the credibility of both designer and manufacturer.

The Gran Tucano is a quietly remarkable table: the marquetry top brings warmth and craftsmanship to what is otherwise a clean, architecturally restrained design. At 72 inches long it seats six comfortably.
