About the Item

Alveo Coffee Table attributed to Willy Rizzo and produced by Mario Sabot, Italy, circa 1970 Rare Burl Wood Coffee Table with Integrated Brass Insert and Brass Corner Details This rare and sculptural coffee table belongs to the luxurious modernist vocabulary of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Traditionally attributed to Willy Rizzo, the design closely aligns with his celebrated Hollywood Regency aesthetic, characterized by bold geometry, refined glamour, and an architectural presence rooted in material richness. The low and expansive proportions lend the table a calm, grounded sculptural quality, allowing it to function as both a focal point and a harmonizing element within sophisticated interior settings. The table is executed in richly figured burl wood veneer, displaying a warm and expressive grain pattern with deep tonal variation. The sharply defined edges are accented with solid brass corner details, introducing a subtle yet deliberate contrast that enhances the luxurious character of the piece. Centrally recessed into the tabletop is a brass insert, conceived as an integral functional and decorative element, reflecting the refined salon culture of the period. The slightly recessed pedestal base creates a visual floating effect and reinforces the architectural clarity of the overall composition. The table remains in correct vintage condition, with visible signs of use that are consistent with age and clearly represented in the photographs. There are no damages or repairs. The original patina to both the wood and brass surfaces is particularly attractive and contributes meaningfully to the authenticity and presence of the piece. This coffee table embodies restrained opulence, strong material expression, and timeless modernist proportions, making it an exceptional object for high end vintage interiors, curated modernist environments, or refined eclectic spaces.
