Metafora Coffee Table by Massimo & Lella Vignelli.
Metafora Postmodern Sculptural Glass Coffee Table
A striking example of postmodern design, the *Metafora Coffee Table* is an iconic piece that masterfully blends form and symbolism. Featuring four geometric elements — a cube, cylinder, sphere, and pyramid — each rendered in stone and meant to evoke the Platonic solids, this table is both sculpture and furniture.
The substantial glass top rests freely atop the four sculptural bases, allowing for flexible arrangement and offering a clear view of the dynamic interplay between the forms below. This is a piece that invites conversation and elevates any space with its bold, conceptual aesthetic.
**Note:** The pyramid element has undergone a professional repair and remains structurally sound. The restoration is visible on close inspection but does not detract from the overall presentation.
A rare and collectible statement piece for lovers of postmodernism, art furniture, or avant-garde interiors.
