An exquisite example of Italian Mid-Century Organic Modernism, this rare side/coffee table was designed by the legendary Franco Albini and manufactured by Vittorio Bonacina in the 1950s. Celebrated for its sculptural hourglass-inspired silhouette, the piece is masterfully hand-woven using natural bent rattan, bamboo, and cane structure, topped with a circular 5 mm clear tempered glass surface.
This versatile design icon pairs exceptionally well with Franco Albini’s famous "Margherita" or "Gala" armchairs, but functions equally well as a standalone coffee table, end table, or sophisticated bedside nightstand in high-end interiors.
Period & Origin: Italy, 1950s (Designed by Franco Albini, produced by Vittorio Bonacina).
Materials: Natural curved bamboo, woven rattan/cane structure, 5 mm clear glass top.
Condition: Excellent restored vintage condition. The piece has undergone careful conservative restoration to nourish and preserve the original organic fibers. The structure is firm, intact, and sturdy, free of loose bindings or breaks. Glass top is pristine, clean, and ready for immediate use.
Care & Cleaning: Clean the glass top with standard glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Dust the rattan structure gently with a soft dry brush or compressed air. Avoid placing in high-moisture outdoors or direct weather elements to maintain fiber integrity.
