Description from the seller

Rare compact vanity with a nestling stool, made in Italy in the 1970s.

The set consists of a chrome metal framework with an open architecture, forming a geometric composition typical of Space Age design. Two hexagonal smoked-glass tops rest on this structure, creating a light, airy visual effect.
The matching stool, mounted on casters, fits perfectly under the structure, saving space and allowing modular use.

This type of furniture evokes the work of Italian designers such as Romeo Rega or Willy Rizzo, with an approach blending polished chrome, tinted glass, and graphic lines inspired by the automotive and architectural world of the 1970s.

The seat has been reupholstered in a zebra-patterned fabric, bringing a contemporary contrast while respecting the decorative spirit of the era.

Condition:
Good overall vintage condition.
Chrome structure showing a light patina and some signs of use
Smoked-glass tops in good condition with minor surface scratches
Upholstery re-done (not original)
No structural play, stable and functional overall.

Additional information:
Unmarked piece
Italian work in the style of Romeo Rega / Willy Rizzo
Decorative and functional object, ideal as a vanity, side table, or compact storage furniture

Acquired at the Saint-Ouen Flea Market, a renowned market for design pieces and European vintage furniture.
