Some of his works are present at the NY MoMA and museum of decorative arts of Paris. There were just a few editions of this table in the 1980s and today is considered a highly collectible example of Italian radical postmodern furniture design. The table is made of lacquered wood, the round table-top is lacquered in purple metallic color and three legs are lacquered in gold metallic color (dirty gold, maybe more like mustard color). The table has some small imperfections (superficial scratches), and the top part of one of the column-shaped legs has a sign of repair. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
