Coffee table by Rodolfo Dordoni

Artistic director Dordoni had been expertly steering Minotti's course at the forefront of Italian design for 5 years when he launched his breathtaking 2002 collection. This sculptural coffee table proved to be a glittering prize piece, challenging conventional perceptions on myriad levels. First off, identical circular discs balance acrobatically to form, wittily, a cube. The nickel plating gleams with modernity, but also has a hint of retro (visions of Paco Rabanne's metal dress come to mind...). It's solid, yet hollow; crafted yet technological. It's playful, yet as sophisticated as the gold cufflinks on a slick Milanese businessman.

Dordoni has played a vital role in making the phrase Made In Italy synonymous with quality and craftsmanship, and this elegant partner to the soft lines of Minotti's sofas endures as a reflection of that talent. All hail the golden age...
