Italian coffee table by Carlo Hauner for Forma Italy

A striking 1961 Italian coffee table by Carlo Hauner for Forma, featuring a sculptural white-lacquered frame with seven repositionable compartments combining dark laminate and glass edgessurfaces. Designed to shift between display, storage, and serving functions, its modular construction creates a distinctive floating effect while retaining a refined mid-century character. Preserved in original condition with gentle signs of age and a naturally aged finish, it remains both a highly functional and collectible example of Hauner’s innovative furniture design.
