Italian Coffee Table by Gae Aulenti for Knoll Inc., 1960s

Impressive and early edition ‘Jumbo’ coffee table designed by Gae Aulenti and manufactured by Knoll International, Italy 1965. This example was made in gorgeous black Marquina marble with white veins running through it. What makes this particular table so special is its unique design, the opulent square shaped tabletop is supported by four sculpted column legs which have an interesting shape reminiscent of Roman architecture. They consist of two pillars connected by a flat piece of marble, creating a dynamic and stable base for the tabletop. Weighing nearly 450 pounds, the table is unquestionably heavy yet it still maintains a graceful air that hearkens back to her adoration for classic Roman architecture. This particular design bears great aesthetic value. This stunning coffee table is an appealing and iconic piece that harmoniously combines straight lines with organic forms.

The table is in very good condition; the top has been professionally polished so there are no scratches or chips to the marble. Marked with “Knoll International” stickers on top of the legs. This coffee table would look amazing in any modern home or interior.
