A striking pair of postmodern side tables produced by Parisotto Italy for Fontana Arte in the 1980s. Featuring circular glass tops atop conical illuminated plastic bodies and weighted chrome bases in quintessential Memphis style.

Embodying the playful yet sophisticated ethos of 1980s Italian design, this pair of occasional coffee tables was produced by Parisotto Italy for Fontana Arte. The design features clean circular glass tabletops seamlessly mounted to steel fixings, which in turn support striking conical plastic lamp bodies. Anchored by heavy chrome-plated domed bases, the structure offers a refined balance of transparency, polished metal, and diffused illumination. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these pieces showcase the signature aesthetic of the Memphis and postmodern movements. The tables are designed for easy assembly and dismantling with care. Currently, one table is outfitted with interior lighting while the other is unlit, though illumination can be readily installed. Offered individually, they make a brilliant sculptural statement in a contemporary living room or avant-garde bedroom setting.
