Fossil stone coffee table, Fossile collection, Switzerland, circa 1980.

Coffee table in fossil stone published by Collection Fossile in Switzerland around 1980. The rectangular top with rounded corners reveals a richly veined surface, incorporating visible marine fossils, including shells and fragments of cephalopods dating from approximately 340 to 480 million years ago. The stone, polished on the surface, highlights the organic and mineral structure of these natural inclusions, creating a unique and unrepeatable design. The entire piece rests on four sturdy legs made of solid exotic micro-coulier, whose simple and stable structure contrasts with the graphic density of the top. This combination of ancient mineral material and solid wood gives the piece a strong sculptural presence, straddling the line between furniture and collectible object. Manufacturer: Collection Fossile, Switzerland around 1980.
