Donald tavoli alti

Design

Donald tavoli alti is a high table by Philippe Starck that keeps its geometry clean and confident. Square and rectangular formats stay crisp, while the base adds a subtle sense of motion through color and reflection. It reads as precise from a distance, then gets more interesting as light moves across it.

The colored glass volume is bonded at a 45° angle, so the tone doesn’t sit flat. It blends, fades, and then almost disappears at the edge. And that shift can be set to degrade upward or downward, depending on how the table should feel in a room.

Materials & Build

The top is laminated extralight glass in a 6+6 mm build, about 0.47 inches total. It’s bright and clear, with less of the green cast some glass carries. The base begins with a thick mirror-polished stainless steel plate, then the colored transparent glass element sits above it, giving the whole piece its depth.

The top is laid onto the base and held with a refined interlocking system. Mirror-polished stainless steel elements are fixed to the glass and connect cleanly, so the structure feels intentional without drawing attention to hardware.

Comfort & Everyday Use

At roughly 28.35 inches high, the table sits at a familiar dining height. The glass surface feels open rather than heavy, which matters when the dimensions get generous. And it makes place settings, flowers, and serving pieces feel like they’re floating instead of crowding the surface.

Because the base carries the color, the top stays visually calm. That balance helps in real use: it’s striking, but it doesn’t fight everything placed on it.

Placement & Lifestyle

These Donald tavoli alti configurations span from about 55.12 to 62.99 inches square, and up to about 98.43 inches long in rectangular versions, with widths around 33.46 to 35.43 inches. In a larger dining room, the long format reads sleek and architectural. But the square sizes make a strong center for conversation in more compact, design-led spaces.

Color options stay edited: a grey or orange degrading shade, or a multi-chromatic effect where the sides shift across yellow, orange, pink, red, and green as layers overlap. In a neutral interior, the multi-chromatic version can be the one expressive move. In a bolder space, the grey or orange can feel more controlled.

Longevity

Glass and mirror-polished stainless steel are inherently resilient materials for a piece that will be used daily, and the construction avoids fussy details that date quickly. Glasitalia also offers custom-made options, so the table can be tailored when a room demands a specific proportion or presence.
