An unusually sculptural interpretation of the classic Italian stovetop coffee maker, with a mirror-polished body, softly rounded lower chamber, domed hinged lid and distinctive cylindrical handle finished with polished spherical details.
The combination of cones, cylinders and spheres gives the piece a distinctly postmodern, late-20th-century Italian design language, with subtle references to Art Deco and the Machine Age.
The maker remains unidentified: no visible stamp or manufacturer’s mark, making this an intriguing and uncommon find.

A rare, matching pair of Royal Copenhagen Format table lamps, featuring their original perforated chrome shades and cylindrical metal bases.
Originally finished in black, the bases have been stripped back to reveal the raw metal, giving the lamps a beautifully understated, industrial character. The natural patina contrasts with the finely perforated chrome shades, highlighting their sculptural, architectural form.
Both lamps have been rewired with new silver braided cables, complementing their monochromatic finish.
Condition: Very good vintage condition, with age-related patina and surface variations. Original chrome shades, refinished bases and new wiring.
Sold as a pair.
Elegant Danish armchair dating from the 1940s, crafted in stained oak with beautifully curved armrests and a refined horizontal slatted back.
The original oak frame has been preserved with its warm patina and traces of age, while the seat has recently been professionally reupholstered in a rich chocolate Italian velvet.
Originally part of a set of three chairs that have remained together since the 1940s, when they were given as a wedding gift. Each chair bears an individual handwritten workshop number in pencil beneath the seat.
Tree chairs available!
