Italian Alveo Bar Coffee Table by Willy Rizzo, ca 1970s
The seller clearly wasn’t quite ready to let this coffee table go. We suspect a few memorable nights had something to do with it. It took some fairly serious negotiating, but we couldn’t blame him. We were already getting attached, and we hadn’t even bought it yet.
With its deep burgundy finish, shiny metal corners and a bar built right into the middle, this is our kind of coffee table. Though coffee feels like a missed opportunity. We’re thinking a good whisky, a smoky mezcal and a record you’ll end up playing twice.
There’s some wear and tear, and the central drinks well has developed a lovely patina. The previous owners clearly put it to good use. We like to think a few evenings went on considerably longer than planned.
Here’s hoping its next owner has no intention of calling it an early night either!
