Description from the seller

Design dining table, presumably dating from the 1980s, without marks, signatures, or labels visible that would allow a definite attribution to a manufacturer or a specific designer.

The table is characterized by a wide circular transparent glass top, which lets the underlying structure be fully seen, conceived not as a simple functional support, but as a true architectural and compositional element of the object.

The base is made of black-painted metal, with an articulated and balanced geometry, composed of linear elements, vertical uprights, curved joints and diagonal rods that intersect with each other, creating a dynamic, light, and sculptural composition. The transparency of the glass top allows the drawing of the structure to be fully read, making the table interesting from multiple viewpoints.

A distinctive feature of the project is the semicircular inlaid leather insert. This detail introduces a warm and refined material component, in contrast with the transparency of the glass and with the essential mark of black metal. The insert gives the table strong formal recognizability and a stage-present presence that is particularly interesting.

The design language recalls the Italian design research of the late 1970s and 1980s, a period in which structure, function, geometry, and material interacted directly, giving rise to domestic objects with a strong visual identity and an almost architectural character.

The table is presented in overall good condition, as visible in the photographs. There are two minor chips along the edge of the glass top, of small extent, which do not compromise the functionality or the overall aesthetics of the piece. The metal framework appears stable and coherent with the piece's age.

The table stands out for its compositional quality, proportional balance, and attention to detail, proving to be a piece of furniture with strong visual impact, suitable both for contemporary domestic settings and for interiors with vintage, collectible, or gallery-style tastes.
