Rectangular coffee table designed by Claudio Salocchi and manufactured by Sormani in Italy in the 1960s, in veneered wood with a minimalist mid‑century modern style, measures 125 cm wide, 50 cm deep and 36 cm high, and is in good used condition with minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
Elegant rectangular coffee table designed by Milanese architect and designer Claudio Salocchi (1934-2012) and produced by Luigi Sormani in the 1960s, a period of intense collaboration that resulted in iconic pieces of Italian modernist design. Made from fine veneered wood (typically rosewood or walnut, with warm, deep grains), it features a minimalist and functional structure, often characterized by integrated storage compartments, removable surfaces, or multifunctional elements that reflect Salocchi's innovative approach to space optimization. Its generous dimensions – height 36 cm, width 125 cm, depth 50 cm – make it ideal as a central coffee table, perfect to pair with mid-century sofas like Maralunga or other Italian classics. The condition is typically excellent for its age: the wood retains a beautiful natural patina, with minimal signs of use that enhance its vintage authenticity; Sormani's craftsmanship ensures solidity and durability over time. A rare and collectible piece, expression of the creative ferment of the 1960s, combining sculptural form, noble materials, and everyday practicality. Perfect for elegantly furnishing a modern or eclectic living room, it represents an investment in timeless Italian design, increasingly appreciated on international markets.
