Lorenzo Burchiellaro, coffee table, copper, stained beech, Italy, 1960s

This substantial coffee table, crafted in the 1960s by Italian designer and sculptor Lorenzo Burchiellaro (1933-2017), stands as a magnificent creation. The copper showcases a beautiful, patinated finish, marked by natural and vibrant oxidation and an extraordinary golden hue. Renowned for his artistic approach to metals and his work in decorative objects and furniture, Burchiellaro's favored materials included metals such as gold, silver, aluminum, zinc, and copper, as used here. The sculptor’s influence is evident in this table, which can easily be viewed as an art piece. A rectangular top rests on round wooden legs, with straight-cut copper pieces forming an eye-catching patchwork of dynamic colors. The table’s uniqueness is further emphasized by the visible lines of round press stamps, highlighting its handcrafted quality. The table is stamped with 'burchiellaro'.
