Set of 7 Gio Ponti Modular Hexagonal Coffee Tables, ISA Bergamo, Italy, 1950s

This very rare set of modular coffee tables was designed by Gio Ponti and produced by ISA Bergamo in Italy in the 1950s. Each table is marked with a metal manufacturers tag 'ISA'. The set consist of 7 tables, each with a hexagonal shaped top, standing on three V shaped legs in black painted iron. The tops of six tables are executed in a beautiful veneered ash wood, with three finished with a dark stain and the remaining three in a lighter stain. The seventh top is in a white laminate veneer. The well balanced combination of the lighter, darker and white tops makes this a versatile and playful set to place. The geometric tables can be grouped together and function as a large coffee table in a honeycomb shaped composition. The tables can also be placed individually or in smaller groups.

The tables are in very good original condition, with a few minor signs of wear consistent with age and use.
