Yin Yang Swivel Coffee Table By Willy Rizzo, Brass And Glass, 1970s

Two-tier rotating coffee table by Willy Rizzo (1928–2013), Italy, 1970s. Originally trained as a photographer, Rizzo turned to furniture design in Rome in the late 1960s, developing a distinctive repertoire of coffee tables with integrated bar compartments.

The composition echoes the yin-yang motif. The upper, rotating top features emerald-green dyed burl veneer, arranged in a bookmatched pattern. It sits above a very dark brown lacquered wooden disc incorporating a brass tray.

Materials: Emerald-green dyed burl veneer with high-gloss finish; very dark brown lacquered wood structure with blackish reflections; brass; glass panel on the lower level
Mechanism: 360° rotation
Manufacturer: Unidentified
Markings: None noted
Dimensions: Diameter 106 cm; height 39 cm

Excellent vintage condition. Smooth rotation, with no visible chips or cracks to the burl veneer top. The brass shows a natural patina from use, including fine scratches and small oxidation spots inside the tray. Some lacquer loss is visible on a recessed area of the base, discreet and barely noticeable when in situ. Minor surface scratches consistent with age and use are present on the lacquered surfaces.
