Acquired in Rome, this table is almost certainly of Italian manufacture, exemplifying the elegance and material richness of late 20th-century Italian design. The table is a monolithic form, composed of two non-detachable elements: a solid base and a thick square top. Crafted in wood veneered in richly figured burl, it is accented by a solid brass bar that runs continuously along the perimeter of the tabletop, creating a bold yet refined architectural detail. Minimalist yet luxurious, this coffee table embodies the glamour aesthetic of the 1970s, a period where clean modern lines were elevated through noble materials such as burl wood and precious metals. Recently, the piece was professionally restored, with the solid brass polished and the wood surfaces treated with a protective finish.

Structurally sound and stable, it remains entirely faithful to its original design. This piece is designed in the style of the selected designer and/or manufacturer See less
