Price
Gianfranco Frattini was an influential Italian designer known for his elegant and functional furniture designs, particularly during the mid-20th century. His coffee tables often showcased a blend of modernist aesthetics and traditional craftsmanship, characterized by clean lines, organic shapes, and the use of rich materials such as wood, glass, and metal. This coffee table is no different, featuring a beautiful combination of darker oak wood and smoked glass. It showcases Frattini's recognizable design with sleek legs and rounded forms that echo his signature style. The table itself is in great vintage condition, exhibiting only minor signs of use and very small knocks on the wooden frame. One of the legs very slightly pulls inwards, adding a unique character to the piece. The glass top can be easily removed, enhancing its versatility and functionality.
