About the Item

The T68 is a particularly interesting table in the production of Osvaldo Borsani and Eugenio Gerli for Tecno, as it effectively encapsulates the research the two designers were pursuing in the early 1960s: combining functionality, construction technology, and transformability in an exceptionally elegant object. The T68 by Borsani and Gerli The T68 model dates from 1963 and was produced by Tecno, the company founded by the Borsani brothers in Milan in 1953. Tecno itself lists the T68 among the designs created by Gerli during his long collaboration with Osvaldo Borsani, describing it as a series of tables with adjustable tops. The concept behind the design is particularly significant: the tabletop is not conceived as a fixed, immutable surface, but rather as an element composed of variable sections. This characteristic forms part of Borsani and Gerli’s broader research into the flexibility of furniture and the possibility of modifying an object’s configuration according to the user’s needs.
