NOTES
This sleek, luxurious table combines unconventional materials for furniture—polished and engraved pewter, brass, and parchment or leather—with glossy black-painted wood. Its style is a blend of modern and traditional elements. Concentric squares inside a frame with projecting corners engraved on the top evoke historical architectural forms with modern simplicity.
