The classic Schwob Table, designed in 1959 by Angelo Mangiarotti and Bruno Morassutti, is getting a makeover for 2026 Maison&Objet. Famous for its minimalistic and structural design, the table is recreated by Agapecasa in a philological re-edition style that utilizes gravity-based assembly. Originally created for Le Corbusier’s iconic Villa Schwob (Villa Turque) in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the project makes the classic design accessible again for modern people.
Designed for a large, double-height room, the table creates a modular horizontal layout that enhances the space’s flow while enriching views. The table comprises a precision-machined aluminum structure designed in a cross with visible mechanical joints as recognizable design details. It is topped with a marble top that rests solely on gravity without any fasteners, reflecting Mangiarotti’s mature design philosophy.
The side handles for moving the table are also creatively integrated into the design, turning them into a distinctive signature. Another cool highlight is the possibility of arranging multiple tables together, which adds a modular element to the design.
Agapecasa has tried to replicate the original design with the same proportions, materials, and design intent. Its sculptural presence is achieved with a combination of aluminum and marble to create a sense of balance and lightness.
The re-edition table is available in three sizes: 100×100 cm, 80×80 cm, and 65×65 cm. You can choose from Carrara White, Black Marquina, Green Alps, Dark Emperor, Carnic Grey, and Travertine finishes to match your style.

The Schwob table is being showcased along with a few other pieces from the Mangiarotti Collection, including the Cavalletto system, the Eros table, Tre3 chairs, and CAP53 vases. The presentation is curated by architect Camilla Benedini and takes place in Silvera’s historic rue du Bac showroom.
