This extraordinary sculpture table, created in Italy by Poggioli in the 1970s, represents one of the boldest expressions of Italian postmodern decorative design.
The work stands out for its complex and dynamic architectural basis, constructed as a three-dimensional interweaving of geometric volumes in maple and maple burl and polished brass.
The surfaces, masterfully lacquered and mirror-polished, generate a play of warm, deep reflections that amplify the plastic perception of the whole.
The composition, perfectly balanced between structure and sculpture, harks back to the constructivist language and the formal experiments of the most visionary Italian furniture of the ’70s, in ideal dialogue with the works of Carlo Bugatti, Willy Rizzo and Luciano Frigerio, but with a completely autonomous personality.
The gilded signature “Poggioli” affixed to the base certifies the authenticity of a piece intended for major collectors of Italian and international design, often mistakenly attributed to other authors.
The burnished smoked glass top, of significant thickness, rests on the structure in perfect balance, emphasizing the sculptural strength of the base and its tensioned geometry. Every detail, from the contrast of materials to the rhythm of lines, is designed to build a powerful and sophisticated stage presence, in which Italian craftsmanship dialogues with the formal freedom of contemporary art.
This table, due to its construction quality, rarity, and signature, should be considered a true functional work of art, emblematic of the most experimental and fascinating era of Italian design.
In excellent condition, with minimal signs of age, it fully retains its original finishes and contemporary glass top.
