A peculiar and interesting plexiglass coffee table. The sturdy cube-shaped structure is made of brushed brass with a sheet of plexiglass at the top forming the table top. One serves as the base and another is placed in the centre as a supporting surface. In each of the plates on the four sides of the cube, a large circle hole has been made, which contributes to making the entire structure aesthetically lighter and more original. A beautiful tortoiseshell effect in coloured plexiglass was used for the realisation. The coffee table was created between 1968 and 1970 by a Roman craftsman from the Magliana district in the Hollywood Regency style inspired by the works of Romeo Rega. Romeo Rega (1925-1984) was a Roman designer who distinguished himself during his 40-year career as a national and international pioneer and protagonist of the golden years of 'Italian Design'. He designed and built the chariots of the 1959 American colossal film Ben-Hur for Cinecittà. The 1970s represented a real revolution for the Italian cultural scene, they were the 'golden years' of design and Romeo succeeded in applying traditional working methods to new industrial materials such as Plexiglas, brass and steel for his creations, with ingenuity and creativity. Plexiglas is a plastic material whose 'real' name is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or more simply methacrylate, derived from the name of its structural polymers. Plexiglas is the best known trade name, which has become commonly used today. The inventor of this material was Otto Karl Julius Röhm, a German chemist who created it in 1928 and it was then marketed in 1933 by the German company Röhm. In 1936, the first acrylic sheet was produced under the name Perspex, which means 'see through'. In fact, one of its most appreciated features is its transparency and it is often used as an alternative to glass also because of its unbreakability. These characteristics, together with the fact that it is a ductile and versatile material that can also be processed in large sheets, mean that Plexiglas easily lends itself to different types of processing and is used in a variety of sectors. It is also known under the trade names of Plexiglas, Perspex, Amanite, Lucite, Trespex, Vitroflex, Acrivill, Perclax, Limacryl, Crylux, Oroglas, Setacryl, Altuglas. it is soft, sensitive to scratches and abrasions that can be easily removed with specific polishes. The table is in good condition, it has a few light scratches which, as already mentioned, can be easily removed. Measures width cm. 50, depth cm.50, height cm.52.For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, polystyrene, etc.) to ensure maximum protection and safety of the items.
