Postmodern sculptural table by Poggioli Italy 1970s

This extraordinary sculptural table, made in Italy by Poggioli in the 1970s, represents one of the boldest expressions of Italian postmodern decorative design. The work stands out for its complex and dynamic architectural base, constructed as a three-dimensional interweaving of geometric volumes in maple, maple burl, and polished brass. The surfaces, masterfully lacquered and mirror-polished, generate a play of warm and deep reflections that amplify the plastic perception of the whole. The composition, perfectly balanced between structure and sculpture, refers to the Constructivist language and to the formal experiments of the most visionary Italian furniture design of the 1970s, in an ideal dialogue with the works of Carlo Bugatti, Willy Rizzo, and Luciano Frigerio, yet with a completely autonomous personality. The gilded “Poggioli” signature applied to the base certifies the authenticity of a piece intended for major collectors of Italian and international design, often erroneously attributed to other authors. The smoked and burnished glass top, of substantial thickness, rests on the structure in perfect balance, emphasizing the sculptural strength of the base and its geometry under tension. Every detail, from the contrast of materials to the rhythm of the lines, is conceived to construct a powerful and sophisticated scenic presence, in which Italian craftsmanship dialogues with the formal freedom of contemporary art. This table, for its construction quality, rarity, and signature, is to be considered a true functional work of art, emblematic of the most experimental and fascinating season of Italian design. In excellent condition, with minimal signs of time consistent with age, it fully retains its original finishes and the coeval glass top.
