It is attributed to the work of designer Guy Lefèvre for the prestigious Maison Jansen (Paris), a renowned interior design firm famous for furnishing the world's elite and royal courts in the 20th century.

Notable craftsmanship details:

The build quality is exceptional (the "Haute Couture" of furniture). The frame is not simply chrome-plated metal, but solid brushed steel, a sophisticated matte finish that requires precise hand polishing. Contrasting gold brass trim creates a luxurious two-tone (gold and silver) effect.

Inspiration:

The design draws inspiration from the Hollywood Regency movement and architectural Modernism. Clean lines, noble materials, and complete transparency are achieved through the inset glass that allows the tabletop to appear to float.
