Measuring an impressive 68 inches wide, the table pairs an exceptionally heavy clear tempered-glass top with a warm, golden-toned wood structure beneath.

The design is what makes this piece exceptional. The wooden center follows a subtle bowed curve, while the oversized transparent glass extends beyond the structure, creating layers of material and negative space. Viewed from different angles, the table shifts between substantial and nearly weightless.

Its sculptural geometry recalls the dramatic Italian and American postmodern furniture of the 1970s and 1980s, particularly the architectural language seen in Jay Spectre’s Shinto coffee table.

Comparable Market Comparable vintage Italian glass coffee tables are currently offered across the secondary design market from approximately $2,000 to $4,000+, while attributed examples and particularly sculptural designs can command considerably more. Jay Spectre's Shinto tables, the design language this piece recalls—have been offered in the several-thousand-dollar range, including examples around $4,500–$7,500.

About House of Beautiful Things House of Beautiful Things is an Atlanta-based interior styling and sourcing studio born from a simple belief: exceptional design should be accessible. While furnishing my own home, I discovered that the pieces I was most drawn to (beautifully made, unusual, sculptural furniture and objects) were often difficult to find and prohibitively expensive when I did find them.

HOBT is my answer to that: thoughtfully sourcing distinctive furniture, art and objects, and offering them at prices that make remarkable design more attainable.

Styling The generous 68-inch scale makes this particularly suited to a large living room, loft, gallery-like interior, or commercial space. Despite its size, the transparent glass keeps it visually open. It is especially striking styled minimally with a single large sculptural object, art book, stone vessel, or organic form.
