Giorgio Tura Mod.1844 Italian Parchment and Mirrored Glass Coffee Table for Tura

Elegant Model 1844 coffee table designed by Giorgio Tura for Tura Milano in the 1960s, featuring a refined natural parchment finish and an inset glass tabletop with a mirrored border. Its restrained rectangular proportions and warm ivory tones offer a sophisticated example of Italian decorative furniture, where the quality of the materials takes precedence over ornamentation. The table features a rectangular top supported by four substantial square-section legs, creating a clean, architectural structure. The tabletop incorporates a central transparent glass panel surrounded by a mirrored border, set within a broad parchment-covered frame. The glass introduces visual lightness to the otherwise solid construction, while the generous proportions of the surrounding frame emphasize the table's precise geometric composition. The consistent treatment of the legs and tabletop creates a unified appearance, with no additional decorative elements. The Model 1844 combines the practicality of a low coffee table with the visual refinement of an occasional display piece. Its open structure allows light to pass through the central glass panel, while the mirrored detailing introduces subtle reflections that change according to the surrounding environment. The substantial construction provides a strong architectural presence without overwhelming the interior. The table is covered in natural lacquered parchment, displaying delicate organic markings and tonal variations ranging from warm ivory to pale golden beige. The material's naturally irregular appearance contrasts with the precise edges of the rectangular structure.
