The "Hexa" model is distinguished by the compositional elegance and extraordinary engineering of its sliding panels, which can radically transform the usable surface area through a simple gesture. The solid wood frame with an open-pore satin-black painted finish accommodates four laminate-covered sliding tops: two white and two red, which can be combined in various geometric configurations. The mechanism is entirely wooden, made with such precision that no metal components are required. The notches are perfect, allowing smooth, quiet and continuous movement. A true masterpiece in functional design. In excellent vintage condition, with slight signs of age consistent with age and use. Fully functional mechanism, well-preserved surfaces. Variable footprint depending on panel opening. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
