Willy Rizzo Modular Coffee Table, 1970s
Description
Willy Rizzo Modular coffee table, lacquered wood, Italy, 1970s
A striking example of 1970s Italian glamour, this modular coffee table by Willy Rizzo redefines the idea of functional luxury. Composed of four lacquered wood elements, the table features integrated stainless steel inserts—a removable ice bucket and four circular bottle holders—designed for entertaining with effortless elegance.
The glossy black surface contrasts with the industrial precision of the metal elements, creating a dialogue between modernist geometry and high-society lifestyle. Each module can be rearranged, forming a square or L-shape depending on the spatial need, echoing the era’s fascination with adaptable interiors.
Rizzo, known for furnishing the homes of European jet-setters and Hollywood icons, brought a cinematic sensibility to his designs. His work merges bold aesthetics with utility, blurring the line between furniture and lifestyle object.
Comparable in spirit to pieces by Gabriella Crespi and Luigi Caccia Dominioni, this table encapsulates the radical elegance that made Italian design of the 1970s both experimental and irresistibly chic.
