About the Item
This sculptural marble table, designed by renowned Spanish architect Alfredo Arribas in 1987, is a striking artifact from Barcelona’s influential postmodern design scene. Created specifically for the avant-garde Torres de Ávila restaurant—an emblem of cultural reinvention in post-Franco Spain—this piece embodies the raw elegance and expressive materiality that defined Arribas’ early work.
The tabletop is carved from a slab of natural marble with a rugged, organic edge that celebrates the stone’s natural texture. A central bronze medallion is inlaid as a subtle design punctuation. The tripod base features slender, industrial-style metal legs connected by spiraling steel rods, contrasting the stone’s monolithic presence with a refined structural lightness.
This table is more than furniture—it’s a collectible design object, a rare surviving piece from a site-specific commission by one of Spain’s most significant contemporary designers. Ideal for collectors of late 20th-century design, brutalist interiors, or postmodern architecture, it offers both functional use and historical depth.
A standout conversation piece with impeccable provenance, this table is a testament to the bold experimentation of 1980s Spanish design. Few pieces from the original Torres de Ávila commission remain available—making this a truly rare acquisition.
