Vintage Metafora Luella and Massimo Vignelli for Martinelli Table

Late 1970s stone and glass low table measuring 100cm (l) by 100cm (w) and 42cm (h).


--

The sculptural metafora coffee table was designed by leila and massimo vignelli towards the end of the 1970s. This variation on the square table comprises three geometric shapes: a triangular prism, a cube and a square based pyramid. The three different shapes supporting the table together represent a unified whole and their configuration can be positioned freely. The square glass table top is straight edged through which the marble shapes - with their delicate cream and beige hues - are clearly visible.
