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”

The Vidun screw table, was designed in 1986, has been produced by DePadova since 1987.

Pierluigi Ghianda, the master cabinet maker, made the first prototype for the base and Vico Magistretti perfected the design which raises and lowers with the simple turn of a screw.
The big wooden screw base is a masterpiece of interlocks
Theatrical, like a sculpture.
It is one of the most iconic objects designed by Vico Magistretti and sold through DePadova.
The screw, a small incredibly useful object, was the inspiration for the first table in the DePadova collection.
