VINTAGE 20thC ITALIAN CHROME & BURR WALNUT COFFEE TABLE c.1980

£795.00

This striking Italian coffee table, dating from circa 1980, is a fusion of luxurious materials and clean-lined modern design. Combining the warmth of burr walnut with the coolness of chrome, the piece exemplifies the Italian mastery of balancing elegance with innovation.

The tabletop is crafted from richly figured burr walnut veneer, its swirling grain patterns and warm amber tones highlighted by a deep, high-gloss finish that lends it a sense of depth and opulence. Supporting the top is a sculptural chrome base, constructed from crisply angled legs that form a striking geometric silhouette. The mirror-like finish of the chrome contrasts beautifully with the organic richness of the wood, catching and reflecting light to add an airy, luminous quality to the piece.

Whether placed in a contemporary living room or a retro-inspired interior, this coffee table offers not only visual impact but also practical durability. It’s a piece that commands attention without overpowering a room, and serves as a functional centrepiece as much as a bold design statement. A true example of Italian craftsmanship at its finest, it reflects the era’s flair for marrying traditional materials with forward-thinking form.
