Lot 53
Dark-stained wood with refined tapering lines and gently splayed legs. Each shelf features ground crystal windows which cover the cut outs, elegantly diffusing light and adding a subtle transparency to the design. These crystal windows are mounted using finely detailed brass fixings, contributing to the refined materiality and craftsmanship typical of postwar Italian design.
