To enter the world of mid-twentieth-century Italian design is to come across amazing creations. Imagine inviting guests to your home for tea or an aperitif and welcoming them to your living room with a vintage piece that is absolutely unique and exclusive, but above all inimitable like this extraordinary coffee table in the shape of a wristwatch. Made by DS in Florence in the 1960s, this Coffee Table is an authentic collector’s piece, capable of blurring the boundaries between functional furniture and sculptural work.
The expertly molded frame features a carved solid wood strap that elegantly extends to the watch case and clasp, which are made of solid brass, giving the whole a sophisticated and precious vintage character. The dial and back, made of glass, introduce a refined play of transparency that highlights the exceptional craftsmanship.
More than a simple piece of furniture, this coffee table stands out as a true narrative element, evidence of an era when Italian craftsmanship expressed its greatest splendor. Preserved in excellent original condition, it represents a rare and fascinating piece, ideal for enriching sophisticated settings and private collections. Perfect for lovers of Italian design, watchmaking enthusiasts or those looking for a distinctive and out-of-the-box piece of furniture.
Its cost? On the sites of vintage furniture dealers the price is around €24,000.00. Certainly a high cost, but justified by the artistic value of an object that is literally inimitable and unobtainable in the world of contemporary design. Despite the fact that current tastes almost always veer towards an essential but homologated style, having the possibility of boasting in one’s home or private space such a special object undoubtedly represents an added value, an emblem of an artistic experimentation that is hard to find in today’s offerings and that can undoubtedly confer a plus to any conversation area that wants to make a difference.
