A coffee table with hidden bar by Willy Rizzo, Italy 1970s
A striking Willy Rizzo-style coffee table showing the sleek sophistication of Space Age and contemporary design. Made in Italy in the 1970s, it features a black plexiglass-covered top that opens in two parts to reveal an integrated bar. Its bold aesthetic and practical features make it a standout addition to any retro-inspired or modern interior.
Space Age design emerged in the early 1950s amidst immense upheaval of the status quo, and sought to illustrate a utopian future in the wake of the second World War. Given that the period was full of exploration in engineering and science, Space Age designers also sought to evolve their given fields and push boundaries farther than ever before.
The Space Age was a universal concept in design, spanning from fashion to architecture and beyond. The term was first formally coined in 1964, when Pierre Cardin launched his "Space Age" line. Other prominent fashion designers from this era included André Courrèges and Paco Rabanne, with iconic designs like the gogo boots being released in the 60s.
