Nerone & Patuzzi Coffee Table for Gruppo NP2, 1972
Description
Nerone & Patuzzi Coffee Table for Gruppo NP2, glass, iron and wood, Italy, 1972.
The Nerone & Patuzzi for Gruppo NP2 Coffee Table is a masterpiece of wood and glass from Italy, 1972. This piece is a convergence of art and function, embodying the avant-garde essence of luxury design furniture.
At the core of its design is the intricate layering of wood, partially treated with fire to unveil an industrial spectacle. This method not only showcases the adaptability and resilience of wood as a material but also highlights a sophisticated chiaroscuro effect. The accumulation of geometric shapes, freely interpreted, enhances this contrast, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The resulting patina is unparalleled, bestowing a metallic luster to the wood that reveals a spectrum of dark, profound reflections interspersed with almost golden hues of the wood’s natural grain.
Perched atop this artistic foundation is a slightly oval, round glass top, supported unconventionally at four points. This design choice imparts a sense of suspension, as if the glass is a magnifying lens, bringing into focus the geometry and artistic style reminiscent of Cubism.
The Nerone & Patuzzi for Gruppo NP2 Coffee Table creation is a bold statement in any space, suitable for those who appreciate the depth of history and the breadth of innovation in their surroundings by owning a compelling three-dimensional canvas.
