Very rare Double Volumes Coffee Table by Willy Rizzo
Signed Burlwood Coffee Table in Architectural Double Volume Form

Few coffee tables capture the glamour of the 1970s quite like the Double Volumes by Willy Rizzo. Conceived during the golden era of the European jet set, this sculptural design became synonymous with the refined interiors of film stars, collectors, and international tastemakers from Paris to Rome and along the Côte d'Azur. More than a coffee table, it is a statement piece that embodies the effortless luxury and architectural elegance for which Rizzo became renowned.

Executed in richly figured burlwood and signed, this exceptional example showcases the designer's fascination with pure geometric forms and luxurious materials. The floating lower platform and elevated central volume create a striking interplay of mass and proportion, transforming a functional object into a sculptural centerpiece. The warm burl veneer displays a remarkable depth and movement, with every surface revealing a unique natural pattern.

Unlike many collectible design pieces that remain tied to their era, the Double Volumes feels remarkably current. Its monolithic presence is equally at home in a historic Parisian apartment, a Mediterranean villa overlooking the sea, or a carefully curated contemporary interior. The design transcends trends, occupying that rare territory where furniture becomes architecture.

This particular vintage example is especially desirable due to its generous original scale of 130 cm by 130 cm, its signed execution, and its exceptional visual presence. Larger than the dimensions commonly encountered today, it retains the monumental proportions that made Willy Rizzo's interiors so distinctive. A true collector's piece, it represents one of the designer's most iconic creations and remains an increasingly difficult model to source in original signed condition.
