The rectangular tabletop is crafted from fossil-bearing natural stone, displaying subtle variations in grey and earthy tones, with delicate fossil inclusions and organic markings throughout its surface. These natural details give the stone a unique character, contrasting with the clean, industrial appearance of the supporting structure.

The base features four substantial chrome-plated steel supports with elegantly profiled edges and visible fastening details. Their polished surfaces reflect the surrounding light, while the precisely shaped metal elements introduce a refined architectural quality to the design.

The contrast between the raw, organic texture of the stone and the smooth, reflective chrome creates a distinctive interplay of materials. The substantial tabletop appears to rest lightly on the metal structure, giving the table a strong yet understated presence.

with its restrained proportions and thoughtful combination of natural and industrial materials, this coffee table reflects the experimental character of 1970s furniture design. Its sculptural construction and neutral colour palette make it particularly suitable for contemporary interiors, modernist spaces and more eclectic settings.

A refined vintage piece that brings together the natural beauty of fossil stone and the precision of polished steel, offering both functionality and architectural character. In general good vintage condition with only small signs of use conform for the age.
