The tabletop is crafted in burl walnut, selected for the intensity and uniqueness of its grain. The perimeter features fine marquetry in different woods, including ebony.
The base of this dining table comprises two sculptural volumes with a strong architectural presence, partially upholstered in quilted leather. Brass details complete the design, creating subtle luminous accents.

Kristall, designed by Michele De Lucchi in 1981, is a side table that belongs to the Memphis Group and reflects the experimental language of Italian postmodern design. Its vaguely zoomorphic shape places the piece somewhere between a functional object and a domestic sculpture. The design is inspired by the lunar module of the Apollo 11 mission, evoking the collective imaginary of space exploration.
The piece is made of lacquered wood covered with decorative laminate. It's painted with metal elements—a combination of materials that reflects the designer's interest in the symbolic and expressive value of furniture. Kristall is a representative example of a period in which Italian design questioned functionalist principles, proposing objects with narrative identity and cultural value.

Michele De Lucchi (Italy, 1951) is one of the most influential figures in contemporary Italian design and architecture. He graduated in Architecture from the University of Florence and gained international recognition in the late 70s as one of the leading figures of radical Italian design. He was an active member of seminal collectives such as Cavart, Alchimia, and Memphis, key movements in redefining the language of design during the 80s.
His work is characterized by a constant reflection on the emotional, symbolic, and ritual significance of objects, beyond their mere function. Throughout his career, he has designed furniture, lighting, and industrial products for leading companies such as Artemide, Olivetti, Kartell, Alessi, Cassina, and Vitra.
Between 1988 and 2002, he was Design Director at Olivetti, during that period he made a decisive contribution to the company's visual and conceptual identity, both in product design and in architecture and interior design. At the same time, he has developed numerous architectural projects for museums, cultural institutions, and corporate headquarters on an international scale.
His pieces are part of the permanent collections of leading museums such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Triennale di Milano, consolidating his position as a key figure in the history of design at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century.

“IKB” coffee table made of plexiglass and its blue pigment content, the transparent glass top and the four straight chrome-plated steel legs.
Rotraut KLEIN-MOQUAY signature on a label under the lid.
The identification number of this table is 97-AI13
Edition started in 1963 under the supervision of Rotraut Klein-Moquay, model registered by Yves Klein in 1961.
International Klein Blue (IKB) was registered on May 19, 1960 at the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). The technical research for the development of this intensely blue color was an artistic act in itself. Yves Klein applied it to various supports and produced a prototype of a coffee table, which was both a work of art and a utilitarian piece of furniture.
Yves Klein was a multifaceted and avant-garde artist whose work challenged conventional art labels. His artistic approach encompassed various currents, including neo-Dadaism, pop art and abstract art, but in the end he invented his own current called “Noveau Réalisme”. In the 1960s, this trend sought to somehow merge life and art in a unique way.

The Tulip table was designed by Eero Saarinen in 1958. It consists of a white-painted metal base and a round white marble tabletop.
Currently produced by the renowned brand Knoll, this table stands out for its quality and exclusivity, qualities that have elevated the brand to the highest level of prestige in the luxury furniture sector.
To create this collection, Saarinen dedicated five years to solving what he called the 'ugly, confusing, unrestful world' he observed underneath chairs and tables, which he referred to as the 'slum of legs.' His revolutionary approach and pursuit of a purist design culminated in the Pedestal Collection, introduced in 1958. Since then, the collection has not only transformed interior design but has also established itself as a symbol of elegance and simplicity in modern design, elevating every space it occupies with its unique and timeless presence.

Measurements: W 150 x D 88.5 x D 40 x H 74 cm
Arne Vodder was a prominent Danish designer, born in 1926, whose career and work in furniture design made him internationally recognized. Initially, he trained as a cabinetmaker and architect, and had the opportunity to study under Finn Juhl at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, graduating in 1947.
After completing his education, he began working as a designer at Hindsgaul, a firm in Copenhagen, where he specialized in office decoration.
However, what stands out most in Vodder's career are his furniture designs. His pieces were known for their simplicity and choice of natural materials, such as rosewood and teak. His designs were often inspired by natural forms and occasionally incorporated colored panels.
Throughout his career, he collaborated with several renowned brands, such as Fritz Hanson, France & Søn, Nielaus, Sibast and Kircodan (where he designed garden furniture), as well as working on interior design for the store Havemanns Magasin A/ S.
His furniture designs graced Jimmy Carter's White House, Anwar Sadat's presidency in Cairo and the United Nations Office in Geneva, as well as finding their way into hotels, banks and embassies around the world.
