Rare coffee table designed by designer duo Giuseppe Nerone and Gianni Patuzzi and Manufactured by Gruppo NP2 in Italy in 1966. This is an early work by NP2. The table has a Trani marble top and a dark grey painted metal base which has a very nice a-symmetrical form. The top has a nice patina from age in the middle there is the circle from the D63 module by NP2. Also does the top show amazing veins. The whole table is in very good original condition.

Trani marble is the most famous and appreciated stone extracted in Puglia (one of the most important regions for the stone sector, second only after Tuscany). Better known as Trani stone, has been used very often in architecture not only locally (such as the Cathedral of Trani, built entirely of Train almost a millennium ago) but also at the national level. Trani is quarried in the Murgia area, near the Trani extraction basin, where there are numerous quarries.
