Description:
Italian modern console table designed by Willy Rizzo (Italian, 1928-2013). Long rectangular mahogany framed table with inset glass top and brass details. \"While Rizzo bought into the modernist principles of functionality and simplified forms, he deliberately avoided mass production, modern materials and industrial design, despite designers such as Giò Ponti endorsing the movement. Rizzo remained focused on a doctrine of traditional materials and craftsmanship, a response to the contemporary cultural environment, as opposed to current design trends.Willy Rizzo\'s furniture is now widely exhibited, notably in the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
