Vintage Coffee Table in walnut Burlwood, Chrome and Brass, Italy 1970s

Vintage Italian coffee table from the 1970s, executed in richly figured burl walnut with contrasting chrome and brass details in the style of Willy Rizzo.

The low square composition with rich proportions is divided into four geometric sections, framed by intersecting chromed metal and brass bands that give the table its architectural character. One section comes in a metal tray compartment for additional storage of bottles or a plant, adding a practical element to the sculptural design.

The combination of warm burl wood and polished metals is characteristic of the seventies Italian design movement of the period and closely relates to the glamorous furniture designs associated with Willy Rizzo. Although the designer and manufacturer remain unknown, this coffee table embodies the design movement and quality that defined Italian 1970s design, and especially the design style of Willy Rizzo.

A refined example of 1970s Italian design, combining decorative burl walnut with chrome and brass in a strong geometric composition with rich proportions.
