Hello, I am a young italian fanatic of modernism and I am furnishing my first single little flat... My dining/ conversation room is more or less complete, but I have a doubt about the table I have to put there. Please note that The table must be round and no more than 120/130 cm (around 50") diameters. The room is so furnished: an important Gio ponti Style sideboard with enamel on copper handles, hangin' on the wall. a Cappellini sofa very fifties, in a grey/pearl colour, a sixties Aubusson Rug with wild abstract pattern mainly balck with white, grey and cream wild designs on, a San Polo Pottery Planter, An Angelo Lelli/for Arteluce important ceiling chandelier and a big Tecno/Osvaldo Borsani Shelving Unit. Two nice tables have been offered to me, an important fifties Fornasetti Table, Ivory with flowers all around and black pedestal (would look great with Gio Ponti Supeleggera chairs, don't you think so?), or a Sottsass Ospite dining table from 1982. Plese note that wild abstract art is on the walls and wild fifties potteries all around.
all suggestion welcome.
Thanks

The Flo Knoll pedestal conference table with any of the wood tops makes a great round dining table and no legs
