Description from the seller
Up for auction is an exclusive coffee table (coffee table) that fuses structural minimalism and precious materials. This design piece, dating from the 1980s, perfectly embodies the spirit of the era, combining the geometric austerity of black metal with the warm, luxurious sheen of brass.
The distinctive element is the rectangular brass plate, which has a slight curvature to fit perfectly between the two large supporting arches. The black metal tubular frame serves as a solid base and creates a sophisticated chromatic contrast, making the object ideal for refined interiors, from metropolitan lofts to modernist-style living rooms.
The detail of the side Allen screws gives a high-tech touch typical of avant-garde projects from the late twentieth century.
Specifications
Top material: original brass (not anodized aluminum).
Base: black-painted steel tube.
Style: Postmodern / Mid-Century Modern / Minimalist.
Era: Circa 1980-1989.
Conditions (Condition Report)
Condition: Good vintage condition with natural patina.
The brass top shows the classic signs of age that collectors appreciate: light superficial scratches and small halos of oxidation (visible in photos 4, 8, and 9). Brass can be polished to achieve a mirror-like shine or left as is to preserve its lived-in character. The black frame is intact and very stable.
