Each geometric form highlights the natural beauty and veining of the marble, creating a striking visual contrast against the clean lines of the glass. The Metafora table is both a functional piece of furniture and a sculptural art object, reflecting the Vignellis’ design philosophy of clarity and coherence. Its rarity and timeless aesthetic make it a coveted item among collectors, standing as a testament to 20th-century Italian design innovation. • Dimensions: (cm) L124 D75 H35
