Ico Parisi 'Tivoli' Coffee Table for MIM Roma, Italy, 1958

Architectural coffee table by Ico Parisi for MIM Roma called the 'Tivoli Coffee Table". The table is in a very good condition, no disturbing traces on the top and very nicely deep colored teak wood. The open transparent legs and the construction of the frame is interesting. Everything seems to be just right about it. You can watch it for hours and still wonder how exactly it was constructed. The black elements of the screws and of the metal covered feet form a nice contrast with the dark brown wood. The legs run all the way through, breaking the surface of the top, which is another nice element. Lots to watch here, a perfect item for anyone who is looking for something industrial but not metal or for some straight lines in it's interior.
