Walnut coffee table, Italy, 1970s

It takes noting more than a quick look to see the sheer class displayed by this coffee table. Its designer, unknown to us today, had a taste for simplicity, an eye for details, and a firm understanding of proportions. The thick glass tabletop is held in place by sleek elements placed at the ends of the intertwined walnut boards that make up this exquisite table's frame. The frame, in turn, rests upon four square-section legs and that completes a series of what we consider to be a series of excellent design choices.
