This highly versatile set of coffee tables, designed by Carlo Hauner and manufactured by Forma in Italy in 1961, showcases a beautiful blend of functionality and style. The pair features a rosewood structure with a variety of tops, including black laminate, glass, and a unique chessboard design, adding a playful element to their practicality. Every side of the top is functional in a different way.
One of the standout features of this set is its adaptability. The tables include two spaces with removable plastic boxes that can function as flower pots, or they can be removed to create open storage compartments. The tops can be positioned to suit your preferences, and the trays are detachable, allowing them to be used separately as serving trays. This flexibility makes the tables perfect for multiple purposes, whether for storage, decoration, or entertainment.
The coffee tables are in good original condition, showing minimal wear consistent with their age and use. They have developed a lovely patina, enhancing their vintage appeal, while the brass rim of the glass top has also aged gracefully. With no significant damage or marks, these tables remain a beautiful and functional example of Brazilian design crafted by Hauner’s Italian company in the 1960s.
Sold as a set of two, these coffee tables are not only a striking addition to any living space but also offer a unique combination of style, versatility, and practicality.
