Willy Ballez marble coffee table Belgium 1979

About the Item

This coffee table designed by Willy Ballez, is crafted in his own atelier in Belgium in 1979. It stands as a truly remarkable piece that embodies the inspiration of Constructivist design. Known for his innovative use of materials and bold architectural forms, Ballez created this table with a solid marble frame that evokes a sense of strength and solidity. The frame is carefully constructed to emphasize clean lines and geometric shapes, a hallmark of Constructivism. The solid marble gives the piece an air of sophistication and durability, while the rectangular glass top adds a touch of contemporary elegance. The juxtaposition of the heavy marble base and the light, transparent glass creates a balanced aesthetic that is both modern and timeless. This coffee table has a unique provenance, having been purchased together with a dining table by Willy Ballez from the first owner, a piece that was sold a few years ago. This shared history adds to the table's allure, suggesting that it was part of a coordinated set designed to elevate any interior space. The table is in very good original condition, a testament to its quality and the care it has received over the years. Despite its age, there is no significant wear or damage, making it a rare find for collectors and design enthusiasts alike. Ideal for a range of settings, from modern living rooms to stylish office spaces, this coffee table by Willy Ballez offers a unique blend of artistry and practicality. Its robust marble frame with a slightly pink tan and sleek glass top ensure that it will remain a focal point for years to come, while its design heritage makes it a conversation piece that will impress guests and connoisseurs of design.

Giulio Lazzotti Megeia coffee table pair Italy 1979
By Giulio Lazzotti
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Nice pair of coffee tables by Gulio Lazzotti and manufactured by Megeia, italy 1979. The base consists of four marble columns with beautiful cut lining. Three black and one white. Two black columns are shaped like half a cylinder. The other two are two cylinders with a diameter which perfectly fits in the half parts, a nice visual detail. The bases can be put in a playful position to your wishes. The large square tops are from thick glass. The tables are in excellent condition. Priced and sold in a set of 2. This Postmodern design resembles the relationship between ancient masonry skills and applying these traditions in modern forms. Like some other Italian designers, Lazzotti in particular has an innovative approach towards experimenting with form, especially in stone and marble, and applying these mainly into tables. Giulio Lazzotti is an Italian designer and architect who has always given an important place to objects’s sculptural dimension. A great lover of marble, his work is modern, reconciliating a sense of craftsmanship with industrial production. Often hired as a consultant for his experience, Giulio shares his attention to detail throughout the world and collaborates with major furniture brands. The name of the town where Giulio Lazzotti lives and works, Pietrasanta, can be alternately translated as Saint Peter or “holy stone,” the latter being wholly appropriate for a designer and architect whose work in marble, metal and wood takes on a serene, sculptural presence. Lazzotti was educated at the prestigious University of Florence, where he later returned to teach architecture. Since 1975, Lazzotti has maintained a diverse practice encompassing architecture, interior design and furniture design, winning such awards as first prize for Design at the Moving Fair of Paris, the Torre Guinigi prize in Lucca for Urban Design for the historical center of Pietrasanta, a top ten in the International Chair...
