Metafora square coffee table designed by Lella and Massimo Vignelli in 1979 with clear glass table top and travertine base elements. It features a captivating combination of materials, with four geometrically shaped travertine elements - cylinder, pyramid, square, and sphere - supporting a large, thick glass tabletop. This Italian coffee table showcases the renowned architect Massimo Vignelli's mastery of design and his ability to harmonize different elements. The base elements can be positioned freely, and the glass top elegantly rests upon them, creating a visually striking and versatile piece of furniture.

Since its introduction in 1979, the Metafora Coffee Table has captivated critics with its exceptional design and the deliberate selection of materials that pay homage to historical references. The table's four legs, shaped as primary forms in Euclidean geometry - cube, cylinder, pyramid, and sphere - evoke a sense of timeless elegance. These geometric elements are crafted from noble materials, including various types of marble or travertine. The tabletop, made of thick, transparent glass, gracefully rests upon the four pieces without being affixed or screwed into any of them. This design choice adds an element of lightness and harmony to the composition, allowing the exquisite materials and geometric forms to take center stage.
