Meret Oppenheim, a Swiss artist, was the creative mind behind Cassina's Traccia coffee table, which she designed in 1939.
Through the use of its instantly recognizable and one-of-a-kind design, it achieves the ideal combination of geometry and imagination.
This one-of-a-kind piece of furniture, which resembles a bird, is a genuine representation of the artist's uninhibited and natural creative process.
The coffee table's legs are fashioned after genuine paws, complete with retractable claws.
The long and slender legs ensure stability thanks to a carefully considered balance of forces that reproduces the same static and balanced stance as a bird.
This supporting framework is built of polished or silvered bronze casting.
The elliptical section and the presence of the bird's imprint on the surface distinguish this support surface as unique.
White gold leaf or pure gold leaf covers the top.
