The Metafora Glass Coffee Table, designed by Lella and Massimo Vignelli in 1979. This striking piece embodies four Euclidean geometric forms: a cube, cylinder, sphere, and pyramid. Each shape symbolizes a significant cultural reference—the sphere as the globe, the pyramid as Egyptian civilization, the cylinder as the Roman Empire, and the black cube as the Kaaba in Mecca. The table's base is composed of these stone shapes, allowing users to configure them as they like to support the glass top, making it both a functional and artistic statement. This coffee table will become a talking piece in any space.
