Description from the seller
Coffee table in onyx reminiscent of Italian design from the 1950s–60s, an elegant example of modernist furniture that combines natural material with the structural rigor typical of postwar taste.
The top, crafted in polished onyx, features a luminous and compact surface, characterized by warm hues and soft veining that impart visual depth and tactile refinement. The stone, with its veiled transparency and subtle color variations, creates a naturally decorative effect of great charm, capable of interacting with the ambient light and enriching its atmosphere with soft and enveloping tones.
The structure is made up of metal supports with a minimalist design, featuring inclined legs and brass feet that provide stability and a visual sense of dynamism to the whole. The contrast between the sculptural solidity of the stone top and the linearity of the metal base recalls the Italian design language of the mid-20th century, where balance, functionality, and formal clarity merge into a timeless piece of furniture.
Perfect as a coffee table in a modernist living room, next to 1950s armchairs or sofas with soft lines, but just as effective in contemporary spaces as a material contrast element. It also serves as a side table in a study or reading area, where the presence of onyx becomes a discreet protagonist, capable of enhancing the space with quiet elegance.
An object that blends decorative value with the quality of materials, an authentic expression of Italian postwar design, appreciated both in collectible contexts and in refined interiors.
The deficiencies of the onyx slab have been repaired with resin. The repairs and additions of the missing material are clearly visible in the detailed photos.
Proper packaging and trackable shipping throughout Europe.
