Further details
For the Casa Rivetti, a small two-room apartment, Mollino separated the maple dining table, itself a redesign of the tables produced in 1946 for the offices of the Reale Mutua Assicurazioni, from the main living area by a sliding curtain of thick red velvet. The opposing wall featured a photographic enlargement of a landscape.
