The rectangular glass top (70 x 50 cm) rests on a slender and dynamic brass frame, 44 cm high, featuring tapered legs with distinctive shaped tips, a distinctive detail that expresses lightness and extraordinary craftsmanship. The line is airy, almost suspended, with a perfect balance between structural tension and formal grace.
The wooden base, placed beneath the glass top, is embellished with decorative brass appliques depicting a joyful scene: a woman and a man carrying a large basket of flowers, accompanied by two dogs in motion. This ornamental element introduces a lively and poetic narrative, creating a fascinating contrast between the modernist purity of the structure and the figurative dimension of the decoration.
