Only three examples of the present model dining table executed in wood are known to exist, which the architect Piero Bottoni designed for Casa Sant’Unione, Bologna (1942-1943), Casa Minerbi, Ferrara (1949-1950) and the present example for Casa Perego, Milan (late 1940s-early 1950s). The design developed from an earlier version in reinforced concrete for Villa Muggia (1936-1938), an eighteenth-century hunting lodge, which Bottoni together with Mario Pucci restored.
