About the Item

This extraordinary coffee table, made of black marble in the 1970s-early 1980s, embodies the refined and conceptual aesthetics of Italian postmodern design. Its style recalls the purity of geometric forms and the design approach of Massimo Vignelli, with a perfect balance between formal rigor and material innovation. The structure of the coffee table is composed of three blocks of black marble, each characterized by a distinct geometric shape: a triangle, a pyramid, and a cylinder. This sculptural composition creates an architectural play that goes beyond mere functionality, transforming the coffee table into a work of art. Its uniqueness lies in the different levels generated by the interlocking of marble and glass, enhancing the three-dimensionality and balance of the materials. Between the two triangular blocks, thanks to a sophisticated system of interlocking and internal sections in the marble, two thick transparent glass shelves are inserted, giving lightness and brightness to the composition. These shelves, besides being extremely elegant, provide a functional surface, yet maintain the visual purity of the design. The contrast between the black marble with natural veins and the transparency of the glass creates a perfect dialogue between solidity and lightness.Essential geometric shapes and the use of fine materials create a coffee table that conveys a feeling of timeless harmony. After Modernism and its design rigor, this piece celebrates the transition to a more sophisticated design, where clean lines and transparent materials are the real stars. Perfect for sleek, contemporary-designed rooms, this coffee table suits both minimalist spaces and more refined interiors, becoming the centerpiece of a living room with great character. The combination of marble and glass makes it an iconic and exclusive piece that can add a touch of discreet and timeless luxury.
