Italian Carrara Marble Square Coffee Table — In the Style of Mario Bellini for Cassina, 1970s
This square coffee table, crafted in Italy during the 1970s in solid Carrara marble, belongs to the formal tradition established by Mario Bellini's celebrated Colonnato series for Cassina — where the architectural base becomes as significant as the top it supports.
The 100 × 100 cm square top rests on two cylindrical Carrara marble bases — a structural solution that introduces a sense of controlled contrast between the strict geometry of the square and the organic roundness of the cylinders beneath it. The result is a composition that feels both architecturally resolved and formally inventive — neither pedestal nor four-legged table, but a third option with its own visual logic.
The Carrara marble presents the characteristic luminous white surface with delicate grey veining — a material whose restraint allows the formal intelligence of the base configuration to read clearly without chromatic competition.
While not a documented Bellini or Cassina production piece, the table shares the same formal language — gravity-based column structure, monolithic marble throughout, complete absence of metal or adhesive. A resolved and materially substantial example of Italian postwar stone design in the most distinguished formal tradition of its period.
