Astrolabio Table
Oscar Tusquets
Production Driade
Table designed by Oscar Tusquets for Driade, 1988.
Astrolabio takes its name and visual language from the astrolabe, the ancient astronomical instrument, reinterpreting it as a domestic object. A cast aluminium base and sheet-metal column support a sandblasted glass top, framed by brass profiles with a bronze-coloured finish. Now out of production, the table has an erudite, theatrical presence, combining historical reference with precise geometry and decorative detail.
Design: 1988
Dimensions: Ø 54 × H 72 cm
Oscar Tusquets
Born in Barcelona in 1941, Oscar Tusquets was an architect and designer, also active as an artist and writer. His work spans architectural projects, furniture design, and cultural reflection, developing a transversal practice that resists strict disciplinary specialization while maintaining a strong connection to the pre-industrial tradition of “making.” Tusquets conceived design as an extension of architectural and artistic thought, where function, irony, and memory coexist in a cultivated and personal visual language.
