AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This side table, full of charm, was designed by Joe Colombo more than 50 years ago. Used, in decent condition, it has two cracks in the internal removable piece, as shown in the pictures, which are due to time and use but do not affect the beauty, the functionality, or the uniqueness of this table; on the contrary, they enhance its charm, as you can see from the images, which are an integral part of the description.

Colombo's design career was tragically interrupted in 1971 by a heart attack that killed him at the age of 41. Nevertheless, he was very prolific during his (almost) ten years as a designer. Notable projects include some of the most iconic designs of the 1960s, such as the Universale stackable chair (1965–1967), here offered, which was made entirely of polypropylene.

This side table is ideal for high-class interiors, both indoors and outdoors, and adds an extra touch of originality to your home as well as your studio.

It will be packaged with great care and shipped with express courier and tracking.
