Orsay coffee table in burgundy by Gae Aulenti, Italy, 1970s

Designed in the 1970s by the visionary Italian designer Gae Aulenti, the Orsay coffee table is part of a larger collection of chairs, sofas, and tables that embody her belief that furniture should be sculptural yet human-centered. Aulenti aimed to create pieces that complement the space and the people in it, balancing architectural presence with everyday comfort. Named after the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the collection is defined by elegant curves, geometric frames, and generous proportions, turning functional furniture into objects of art.

The Orsay coffee table features a graduated geometric metal frame with sleek glass surfaces, giving it a light and futuristic presence. The table is in used vintage condition, showing signs of use, including two noticeable scratches in the paint on one side and a minor chip in the glass top. These imperfections are reflected in the price, making this a more accessible opportunity to own a piece of iconic 1970s Italian design.
