We kindly advise you to read the full description, as we aim to provide detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our items. This refined and original pair of brass coffee tables is characterized by a linear structure made of solid polished brass square section. The upper surface consists of a thick glass panel, while a mirror is positioned in the middle of the structure, creating visual lightness and a sophisticated touch. These elements give the coffee tables an elegant and modern look. Made in the style of the famous Italian designer Willy Rizzo, they were produced between 1970 and 1975 in a workshop in Brianza (Lombardy, Italy) and represent a classic example of modernist design of that period, characterized by clean lines, high-quality materials and an elegant and minimalist aesthetic. La Brianza, an area that includes several cities such as Meda, Desio and Cantù, is famous for producing high quality furniture. Many furniture companies in this active area of Lombardy produced pieces in the Willy Rizzo style, known for the high attention to detail and the use of fine materials. Willy Rizzo (1928-2013) is particularly known for his brass and glass coffee tables. Rizzo began his career as a photographer, working for major fashion magazines and portraits, including "Paris Match". His experience in photography influenced his eye for design and composition, leading him to create furniture that combined functionality with a visually appealing aesthetic. Throughout his career Willy Rizzo has collaborated with several prestigious companies and craft workshops, helping to bring his unique designs to the international market. Rizzo coffee tables are often characterized by clean and geometric lines, using polished brass frames to create a luxurious effect. The artisans who created this pair of coffee tables followed with extreme skill the principles of Rizzo’s design, playing with contrasting materials and luxury finishes. Using polished brass, they have given strength and a touch of opulence, creating functional and decorative coffee tables that have become an icon for their timeless elegance and artisanal quality. In conclusion, the workshops and small businesses of Brianza have played a crucial role in the production of Willy Rizzo style tables, thanks to the long tradition of craftsmanship and the presence of many designers and specialized factories. These furniture, known for their elegance and quality, reflect the excellence of Italian design. The two tables are in good condition. Width 54 cm, depth 54 cm, height 65 cm.
