Italy is a country of enduring symbols, many of which have shaped culture across centuries. Among them, Carrara marble stands as a hallmark of artistic heritage, reaching back to Michelangelo and the Renaissance. In the 1950s, post-war Italian designers sought a fresh and optimistic approach to their work, pairing timeless materials with modern ideas. Influenced by the organic forms of Isamu Noguchi and the restrained elegance of Scandinavian modernism, they turned to Carrara marble, brass, and other fine materials to create light and asymmetrical designs that broke from the rigidity of the pre-war past.
This pair of accent tables reflects that spirit. Crafted in Italy during the 1950s, each features a hand-cut freeform marble top supporting a floating glass tier. No two examples were ever identical, a reflection of craftsmanship rarely seen today. The marble is generous in thickness, retaining its original luster and beautifully displaying its natural veining. The glass shelves rest lightly on three brass supports, and can be repositioned or removed as desired. Beneath, a concealed wooden platform anchors the tapered brass legs, creating an elegant visual connection with the hardware above.
The tables embody a simplicity only skilled Italian designers could achieve. Their sculptural forms remain timeless and sought after, while their petite proportions make them as functional today as they are beautiful. Remarkable from every angle, they bring both elegance and ease to any interior.
