Description
A beautiful lacquered goatskin coffee table with brass center, by Aldo Tura, Italy circa 1975. This high gloss lacquered goatskin, in rich shades of brown, makes this beautiful coffee table typical of designer Aldo Tura. This large coffee table would make a fascinating centerpiece for any living room or great room. It’s been beautifully finished for a smooth, glossy texture that feels highly decorative. Tura focused almost exclusively on lacquered goatskin, applying it to an array of glamorous pieces for the home. Chocolate brown (which at times resembles tortoiseshell) is unquestionably the most widely used color in Tura’s oeuvre,
Aldo Tura, (Italian, 1909–1963) was an Italian furniture designer best known for his mid-century tables and lamps. Combining his interest in Art Deco and Art Nouveau with low-slung minimalist design of the 1940s' and 50's, he often utilized unusual materials like parchment, egg shell, and goatskin, frequently employing wheels and casters in his designs. Tura began manufacturing his signature furniture in the 1930's, focusing on limited production of handcrafted designs produced within the confines of traditional craftsmanship that could never by replicated in a large-scale factory system. As a result, the number of works by Tura available on the vintage market remains limited. Turo died in 1963, and has earned the moniker "the master of parchment" for his use of the material.
