Heavily inspired by the structural genius of Mario Bellini’s iconic mid-century Italian forms, this late-20th-century piece stands at a standard dining height of 28.5 inches. It features an interlocking geometric frame expertly constructed using substantial, hollow-core mitered solid wood panels wrapped in premium hardwood veneers. This sophisticated engineering technique gives the piece a deeply grounding, massive appearance while protecting the wood structure from humidity warping or splitting over time.The table is currently fitted with an apartment-sized 42" x 22.25" tempered glass top (3/8” thick) featuring a precision central cutout, allowing the apex of the interlocking wood column to rise through the center and sit perfectly flush with the glass surface. This configuration makes it an exceptional, high-impact entry console or small space breakfast table. Alternatively, the massive, rock-solid base is heavy enough to easily support a larger, custom-cut round or square glass dining top.The base locks tightly together via internal structural hardware deep within circular, recessed mounting holes—a definitive signature of high-end showroom engineering. A striking centerpiece for any postmodern, minimalist, or upscale modern home. This vintage piece is as practical as it is beautiful—thoughtfully designed with four adjustable floor glides underneath to keep the tabletop perfectly level and steady.

Condition:Excellent vintage condition with minor surface wear consistent with age and light residential use. No deep scratches or chips to the glass. Solid, heavy, and structurally pristine. There is a small chip on one corner of the veneer that I can provide a photo of. See less
