Italian Solid Teak Tray Top Coffee Table by 3B, c.1970

Italian Solid Teak Tray Top Coffee Table by 3B, c.1970

$0.00 AUD

A rare and exceptional coffee table that embodies the global appeal of mid-century design, distinguished by its superior solid timber construction.

While its form evokes the celebrated aesthetic of Danish modernism, its story is a fascinating chapter in international design, linking a high-end Italian manufacturer with the discerning Australian market. Marked on its underside, this is a collector's piece for its quality, design, and unique provenance.

Crafted entirely from solid teak, this table possesses a weight and integrity that sets it apart from more common veneered furniture of the era. The timber’s rich, warm grain flows uninterrupted across the entire piece, a testament to the quality of the materials selected. The table's most defining feature is its remarkable "tray top," meticulously sculpted from a solid plank of wood. The raised edges are not merely applied but are an integral part of the top, creating a seamless, organic form that is both beautiful and functional.


Below, a robust slatted shelf provides a classic mid-century element for storage, its clean lines contrasting beautifully with the sculptural top. The entire structure is supported by four elegantly tapered, splayed legs, also crafted from solid teak, giving the table a grounded yet dynamic presence.


The maker's mark unlocks its unique history. The "3B" identifies the manufacturer as the renowned 3B S.P.A. of Salgareda, Italy, a company with the industrial might to produce furniture of exceptional quality. This high-grade piece was commissioned and imported to Australia for an audience that appreciated fine European craftsmanship during the 1970s.


This table is a remarkable artifact of design history: a piece that blends Scandinavian and American modernist principles, executed with Italian manufacturing prowess in solid, lasting materials, and destined for the Australian market. It is an investment in enduring quality and a story worth telling.


Condition: very good vintage condition. The solid teak has been restored to enhance the natural depth and beauty of the grain. It shows only minor signs of wear consistent with its age and history, adding to its authentic character.
