About

In the style of Willy Rizzo, coffee table, brushed metal, metal, Italy, 1970s This coffee table has strong visual references to the designs of Italian designer Willy Rizzo. On a low base rests the thick, rectangular shaped tabletop. The surface embodies a chequered pattern of silver and black rectangles, which fits perfectly with the overall designer language of the '70s that is characterized by experimentalism and boldness. The design convinces visually through its stabile construction accomplished by the remarkable geometrical shapes. Willy Rizzo (1928-2013), born in Naples, was a celebrity and Hollywood photographer. His models include Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn. At a later stage in life, Rizzo discovered that his clientele loved his particular aesthetics and sense for style so much that he decided to design furniture. Often his design where commissions from for example Salvador Dali or Marilyn Monroe. From the end of the 1960s onwards, Rizzo designed about 30 different furniture pieces. Please note that the brushed metal shows visible signs of wear and use. Therefore, we advice restoration before use. This can be done before shipping by our experienced craftsman in our own in-house restoration atelier. With high attention for the original, they make sure every piece retains its value and is ready for the many years to come. We kindly ask you to contact our design experts for further information about the endless possibilities our restoration and upholstery atelier has to offer. Of course, a locally organized restoration is possible as well.
