Overview
Presenting an exceptionally rare and striking set of three vintage Italian Postmodern tables by the renowned manufacturer ALF Group (ALF Italia). Featuring one large center coffee table and two matching side tables, these functional works of art stay true to the bold, rule-breaking ethos of 1980s Italian design and the Memphis Group movement.
Design & Aesthetics
These tables are defined by their vibrant, high-contrast geometric tabletop designs. The surface features a stunning faux-woodgrain and burl texture separated into sharp, asymmetrical quadrants of rich green, golden-yellow, and cool stone-grey. They are further accented by precise, primary-colored pinstriping and geometric squares in deep blue and vivid red. Known for their mastery of lacquered finishes, ALF utilized a thick, high-gloss polyurethane clear coat to create a glass-like finish that makes the colors absolutely pop under lighting. The stark, glossy black angular legs provide a heavy, grounded contrast to the vibrant tops.
History & Provenance
These are authentic vintage pieces, officially stamped "ALF - Made in Italy" on the underside. ALF Group is a celebrated Italian design house known for premium construction and luxurious contemporary finishes. Finding a complete, matching set of three in this specific geometric colorway by a verified maker is incredibly rare, making this a collector-grade acquisition for lovers of authentic postmodern, 80s deco, and Memphis-era design.

The Clear Coat: The high-gloss table tops present beautifully but do retain surface-level micro-scratches from normal use over the decades. A professional buffing and polishing of the clear coat will easily bring them back to a flawless mirror shine. The Finish: There are a few minor, small paint and finish defects, alongside light wear consistent with their age. Restoration Potential: While stunning as-is, a buyer looking for museum-quality perfection could simply have the clear coat professionally redone to completely reset the tables to brand-new condition. less
