The design reflects late 20th-century Italian postmodern principles, where expressive form, bold color, and sculptural presence were favored over strict functional geometry.
The table functions equally as a practical surface and as a statement design object, making it suitable for both contemporary and eclectic interiors.

The combination of industrial materials with an organic, almost fluid form places this piece within the context of European postmodern design of the 1980s–1990s, associated with studio-produced furniture rather than mass industrial output. See less
