Nerone & Patuzzi coffee table, Italy 1970s

Unique 'one of a kind' wooden sculptural coffee table by Nerone and Patuzzi for Gruppo NP2, Italy 1970. The table is composed of solid wooden layers which are routed out in a beautiful artistic form. Nerone Ceccarelli developed a special technique to achieve a unique result on the surface of the wood; he first burned the wood with a flame and waxed it in. The flame and wax give it it's unique warmth and saturation. The table has a clear wax finish providing an extra depth and rich feeling to the surface. On top of the base lies a 19 mm thick glass top. In excellent condition.
