Italian furniture production of the 1980s generated some of the most formally adventurous small tables of the postwar period, with manufacturers treating chrome, glass and stone as a vocabulary for sculptural object making rather than conventional furniture design. This two tiered side table is characteristic of that output, with a central chrome column rising from a weighted black marble disc base and carrying two offset circular glass shelves supported by asymmetric swept chrome brackets with ball finial detailing. The composition is deliberately unbalanced in a way that reads as considered rather than accidental, the lower shelf bracket curling outward to create a visual counterweight to the upper tier. It sits naturally beside a lounge chair or at the end of a sofa in a room where the other objects have been chosen with the same level of attention.
