An exceptional mid-century side table by Belgian atelier Pia Manu, crafted circa 1960. This striking piece exemplifies the studio’s distinctive sculptural approach, merging artisanal metalwork with refined natural materials.

The table features a minimalist square top in white marble, elegantly contrasted by a black cast-iron frame with geometric detailing. The linear composition of the legs, accentuated by circular and vertical wrought elements, reflects a subtle dialogue between Brutalist strength and Art Deco rhythm; hallmarks of Pia Manu’s architectural aesthetic.

This table’s restrained proportions and refined craftsmanship make it a versatile addition to both modern and eclectic interiors, equally suited as a side table, pedestal, or accent piece.

Excellent vintage condition with light patina consistent with age. A rare and sophisticated example of Belgian mid-century design; where sculptural presence meets timeless elegance. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
