About the Item

Rare “Tovaglia” Coffee Table, 1969 – Attributed to Studio Alchimia A striking example of Italian Radical Design, the Tovaglia coffee table (Italian for “tablecloth”) blurs the boundary between illusion and utility. Designed in 1969 and attributed to Studio Alchimia, this sculptural piece mimics the soft, cascading folds of a draped cloth—yet is rendered entirely in a lacquered fiberglass. The design is at once surreal and architectural: a perfectly square tabletop dissolves into fluid, theatrical drapery, challenging perceptions of weight, material, and function. Evocative of both playful postmodernism and classical trompe-l'œil, Tovaglia is emblematic of the avant-garde spirit that defined the Italian design movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. A rare and collectible piece, ideal for curators of Radical, Postmodern, or conceptual design.
