Giuseppe Ostuni Attributed Brass Occasional Table with Lava Stone Top 1960s

This refined Mid-Century occasional table, attributed to Giuseppe Ostuni, captures the spirit of an era defined by elegance, experimentation and Italian ingenuity. Founder of Oluce in 1945 — Italy’s oldest lighting company still in operation — Ostuni wasn’t just a designer, he was a tastemaker. He shaped a generation of Italian Modernism, collaborating with and influencing talents like Joe Colombo, Tito Agnoli and Cesare Lacca. While many tables linked to Ostuni feature glass tops, this rare example showcases a lava stone surface, adding unexpected materiality and richness. Whether designed by Ostuni himself or someone working within his influential circle, it’s a piece that speaks clearly in the language he helped define: sculptural, purposeful and unmistakably modern.
