About the Item

Timeless elegance and craftsmanship meet in this large center coffee table designed by Paolo Buffa, one of the protagonists of postwar Italian design. Made in the 1950s-60s, this refined piece of furniture combines fine materials and geometric patterns to create an object of great personality and historical value. Refined Geometries and Finishes in Walnut Square in shape, the coffee table is distinguished by its walnut wood edging, elegant and warm to the touch. The wooden top features a square geometric decoration engraved around the perimeter, which lends visual movement and depth to the surface. Every detail reflects Buffa's typical stylistic approach: formal rigor and refined restraint. A distinctive feature of this coffee table is the central band covered with the original fabric of the period, an embroidered blue velvet that gives textural and chromatic contrast to the entire structure. The upholstery is in excellent condition, carefully maintained over time, and is an authentic touch of mid-century Italian style. The lower band of the coffee table also features walnut wood panels, which complement the structural design with consistency and quality. The entire piece is in its original condition, with signs of time and light scratches , but that restoration is possible upon request. Through its generous size and square shape, this coffee table is ideal as a centerpiece in sophisticated living rooms, modern-furnished bedrooms, or mid-century style-inspired rooms.
