this piece perfectly embodies krier's design philosophy, grounded in a postmodern language that reinterprets the stable proportions and geometries of classical and neoclassical architecture in a contemporary key.

the coffee table is crafted entirely from fine solid cherry wood and veneered with expert craftsmanship. The warm honey-toned finish enhances the wood's natural grain and grain. The rectangular top is distinguished by a sophisticated interplay of artisanal cabinetry, featuring a central inlay with mirrored grain enclosed by a striking internal geometric frame with contoured profiles.

the legs are the collection's true distinguishing feature; the four legs feature a sculptural and vigorous line with a distinctive saber curve, lending momentum and a strong monumental identity to a piece designed to last.

underneath the top is the original brass identification plaque with the words "giorgetti design léon krier – made in italy" and the respective stamped serial number, guaranteeing the complete authenticity of this collector's item.

the top shows only light and normal signs of aging or superficial micro-scratches due to use, which do not detract from its beauty or collectible value. Re-polishing the top will remove any signs of aging. This piece has an attribution mark,
