Willy Rizzo coffee table `Alveo` in burl walnut veneer. This
vintage coffee table by Willy Rizzo was retailed by the company Mario Sabot in Italy from 1972. The Alveo (translated as `riverbed`) has burl walnut veneer with brass corners on a recessed base. There is an internal compartment of brass for a dry bar or display. Great uniform colour and finish with no major scratches or marks, only minor restoration on the wood. The brass antiqued patina has been maintained and there is minor restoration to one of the brass corner pieces as demonstrated in the photo. This design has been published in several publications: the July/August 1972 issue of the design periodical Casa Vogue, Maison & Jardin, Septembre 1973, page 131 and `Le retour de Willy Rizzo`, AD, number 86, Septembre 2009, page 54. This
Italian 1970`s coffee table was also exhibited at the 1973 Salone di mobile in Milan.
The dimensions of the internal brass compartment are height 13.5 cm, width 50 cm and depth 33 cm.
