Italian Willy Rizzo Style Pair Of Brass Coffee Tables With Glass And Mirror Tops
About the Item
We kindly suggest that you read the entire description, as we aim to provide detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. This refined and original pair of brass coffee tables features a linear structure made of solid square-section polished brass. The top surface is a thick glass panel, while a mirror is positioned midway up the structure, creating visual lightness and a sophisticated touch. These elements give the coffee tables an elegant and modern look. Made in the style of the famous Italian designer Willy Rizzo, they were produced between 1970 and 1975 in an artisan workshop in Brianza (Lombardy, Italy) and represent a classic example of the modernist design of that period, characterized by clean lines, high-quality materials, and an elegant, minimalist aesthetic. Brianza, an area encompassing several cities such as Meda, Desio, and Cantù, is famous for producing high-quality furniture. Many furniture companies in this active area of Lombardy produced pieces in the Willy Rizzo style, known for their high attention to detail and use of fine materials. Willy Rizzo (1928-2013) is particularly renowned for his brass and glass coffee tables. Rizzo began his career as a photographer, working for major fashion and portrait magazines, including “Paris Match.” His experience in photography influenced his eye for design and composition, leading him to create furniture that combined functionality with a visually appealing aesthetic. Willy Rizzo collaborated with several prestigious companies and craft workshops during his career, helping to bring his unique designs to the international market. Rizzo's coffee tables often featured clean, geometric lines, using polished brass frames to create a luxurious effect. The artisans who created this pair of coffee tables followed Rizzo's design principles with extreme skill, playing with contrasting materials and luxurious finishes. By using polished brass, they imparted sturdiness and a touch of opulence, creating functional and decorative coffee tables that have become iconic for their timeless elegance and quality craftsmanship. In conclusion, workshops and small businesses in Brianza played a crucial role in producing Willy Rizzo-style coffee tables, thanks to their long tradition of craftsmanship and the presence of numerous designers and specialized factories. These pieces of furniture, known for their elegance and quality, reflect the excellence of Italian design. The two tables are in good condition. Measurements: width 54 cm, depth 54 cm, height 65 cm. For all our shipments, we use special packaging materials (custom-made wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the items.

Louis Philippe Style Feather Walnut Coffee Table With Tripod North Italy
Located in Prato, Tuscany
We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects.
Elegant round coffee table from northern Italy with "orange slice" veneered with walnut-feather; the central stem of the tripod is in hexagonal solid wood; the three final supports, always in solid wood, are shaped and well whittled with simple and rigorous lines; at the center of the table, there is a delicate and refined inlay reproducing a rose, made by hand with soft precious woods, the two peripheral circles of the top are always inlaid. The most interesting and compelling feature of this table is the workmanship with which it was made: the " wood veneer"( Attention. The exact term is Italian "lastronatura" untranslatable in English, in fact, the "lastronatura" is very different and older than “wood veneer”. Read explanation later). The”lastronatura” is an artisan technique that spread already during the sixteenth century and remained unchanged until the mid-nineteenth century before the Industrial Revolution; it consisted of hand-cutting the trunks of noble wood (walnut, mahogany, briar, walnut-feather, etc.) with ancient saws in so many layers with thicknesses ranging from 4 to 6 millimeters, which were then applied to furniture for decorative purposes; the finishing of this procedure was very complex: the wood layer was treated with natural earth dissolved in water for the desired shade, it was aged with stone, fixed with shellac applied with a brush and finally polishing was performed in 12 steps...
