The thick, bevelled glass carries a series of large and small kaleidoscopic rosettes in varying sizes. The patterns look like dahlias or sunflowers, and the fine radiating lines catch the light and appear to change with every angle. The glass rests on a sturdy frame of dark, richly toned wood with chunky square legs. Together, the glass and wood show the Italian mid-century taste for refined materials and artisanal craft.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe low, elongated proportions make this a striking centrepiece for a living room, lounge, hotel or boutique interior.
