Description from the seller
Glamour International: Circular Dining Table – Willy Rizzo Design (90s)
We present at auction a piece that perfectly embodies the "jet-set" aesthetic and the magnetic elegance of the 1970s: Willy Rizzo's circular table. This furniture is not just a table, but a manifesto of style that reflects the worldly and sophisticated world of its creator, able to transform any dining room into a high-profile setting.
Design and History: The Aesthetics of Contrast
Willy Rizzo's design is famous for its ability to fuse modernist rigor with bold, tactile luxury:
Material Contrast: The visual force of this model lies in the pairing of deep black surfaces with stainless steel details. This combination creates a play of reflections that enhances the circular geometry of the top, typical of avant-garde furnishings of the era.
Elite Functionality: Originally conceived for Rome's most exclusive apartments, the table combines a unique scenographic impact with the solidity needed for daily use, maintaining harmonious proportions that promote conviviality.
A Piece of History: Rizzo's furnishings are today highly sought after by collectors for their ability to evoke an era of cultural splendor and international social life, while remaining incredibly current in contemporary interiors.
Lot Conditions: Conservational State and Care
- The piece up for auction is in excellent used condition, carefully preserved to maintain its original charm:
- Surfaces: The black components are well preserved, intact and show a uniform, deep finish. The laminate has been professionally polished and shows only minor signs of use and aging consistent with the table's era.
- Stainless Steel: The satin metal parts retain their original luster. Thanks to recent cleaning and professional polishing, the steel appears bright, with only light and natural signs of wear consistent with the piece's age and history.
- Solidity: The structure is perfectly stable and robust, ready to be inserted into a new living environment.
Four Willy Rizzo chairs that accompanied this table are also presented in the same auction.

The Designer: Willy Rizzo
A world-renowned photographer and designer by vocation, Willy Rizzo captured the face of the Twentieth Century, from Marilyn Monroe to Salvador Dalí. His design adventure began in Rome in the 1960s: not finding furniture that reflected his sophisticated taste, he decided to design them himself. The result is a unique aesthetic language that combines the photographer's artistic sensibility with the technical precision of a designer, creating objects that have become timeless icons of modern luxury.
