The Vidun “Screw Table” by Vico Magistretti

Vidun = “big screw” in Milanese dialect

The “big wooden screw” sets the height of the tempered glass top – and this way Vico Magistretti converted the typical support of the old workbenches into a domestic element.

Vico often said: “It is always the conceptual detail that attracts people’s attention”.

If a person chooses a lamp in a shop, say a lamp designed by me, picks it up, buys it and then takes it home: well that will have some sort of influence on his life
