Known for his scenographic interiors and artistic furniture, Rey developed a distinctive visual language defined by dynamic metal structures and refined finishes. This piece features a gilt metal base in the form of an intricately braided rope ending in large tassels — a bold, theatrical gesture that reflects the international trend of the era toward sculptural and ornamental furniture. The wavy glass top adds a contemporary touch that balances the richness of the base. A truly iconic piece, rare and highly collectible due to the limited availability of Rey’s work and the renewed appreciation for Spanish design from the 1960s and '70s.
