A striking exercise in pure geometry and balance, this coffee table embodies the minimalist language associated with Massimo Vignelli and the refined Italian craftsmanship of Cattelan Italia. The composition is reduced to its essential elements: a generous square glass top resting delicately upon three sculptural marble spheres. The visual effect is both architectural and poetic — a seemingly weightless plane floating above solid, monolithic forms. The contrast between the sharp, transparent glass and the richly veined dark marble creates a powerful dialogue between lightness and mass. Each sphere is carved from black marble with expressive white veining, making every example unique. The thick glass top enhances the table’s presence while maintaining a sense of visual lightness. The design is as much about tension and equilibrium as it is about materiality. For optimal stability, the table should be placed on a rug or carpeted surface, or the spheres can be secured with an appropriate fastening system if desired. This table is in a good vintage condition. The glass top shows light surface wear consistent with age and use. One marble sphere has a visible damage area; however, this is not noticeable when the table is installed in its standard position. The price reflects this condition detail.
