This elegant rectangular coffee table was custom designed by Giorgio Tura for Tura Milano during the 1970s.
The design is based on an exceptionally pure architectural composition: a long rectangular top is supported at either end by two substantial vertical elements.
The absence of decorative additions allows the proportions, material and surface treatment to become the defining elements of the piece.
The entire exterior is covered in natural parchment, one of the materials most closely associated with the Tura tradition. The parchment has been carefully arranged across the large geometric surfaces, revealing its characteristic organic grain, subtle clouding and naturally irregular tonal variations.
Its warm honey and golden shades change gently across the surface, creating depth without disturbing the rigorous simplicity of the form. Particularly beautiful is the contrast between the severe geometry of the structure and the organic, almost pictorial character of the parchment.
The exceptionally elongated proportions give the table a strong architectural presence while maintaining a visually restrained and sophisticated character. Viewed from different angles, the design alternates between the appearance of a functional piece of furniture and that of a minimal sculptural volume.
