The elegant and distinctive Italian Art Dèco coffee table is made of light walnut wood; the smooth-edged top is lightened by a transparent glass that allows us to enjoy the entire refined structure of the coffee table; exceptional is the graceful and harmonious design of the legs that are joined together by a peak top below with grid work; a streamlined, pleasing and sophisticated aesthetic ensemble. The coffee table was handcrafted from light walnut wood in Lombardy ( Italy) between 1950 and 1955 in the Paolo Buffa style; we know for a fact that the famous architect Buffa used Lombard cabinetmakers of recognized skill for the construction of his furniture, who used very refined materials also because the objects were intended mainly for the apartments of the wealthy Milanese bourgeoisie; our coffee table with its characteristics of quality, accuracy and finish, was almost certainly made to one of those master craftsmen. Paolo Buffa (1903-1970) was an Italian architect and designer known for his mid-century furniture designs. Characterized by a fusion of tradition and modernity, he used a combination of low-profile, straight-curved forms in fine woods to produce his most classic pieces. Paolo Buffa began working in Gio Ponti's studio and later, as early as 1928, as indicated by period documentation, in close collaboration with architect A. Cassi Ramelli. He devoted himself mainly to designing furniture by continuously proposing new models. More than a forerunner, he is a faithful spokesman of the taste of his time: neoclassical first and novecentist later. Paolo Buffa was highly regarded internationally for his refined design and rigorous execution, displaying a singularly Italian expertise. Before he died in 1970 in Milan, Italy, Buffa had been named one of the country's leading designers.
