Genuine tortoiseshell and brass vintage table by Ottini Milano 1973

Superb and unique round oak dining table entirely covered with real varnished tortoiseshell, was made in Milan by the small design studio Ottini in 1973. Ottini made furniture to order for renowned architects and designers using only rare materials such as parchment, python, crocodile and tortoiseshell. The colour palette and details of the turtle shell patchwork are simply incredible. The design is typical Italian Mid-century, with rounded shapes and brass accents, reminiscent of Willy Rizzo's table design. A truly unique piece, extremely rare, in a superb state of preservation.
