This striking coffee table pairs a softly textured, cream lacquered top (wrapped in fine linen, no less) with a bold geometric base in aged brass. The contrast is the magic: warm, weighty metal meets airy, elegant surface in a silhouette that's part Regency salon, part modern sculpture. The base is all clean lines and sharp angles-structured, architectural, and impossible to ignore. Minerva makes an effortless statement, whether styled with a stack of art books or left bare to show off every detail. It's the kind of piece that adds polish without pretence-a clever classic that looks just as good in a city apartment as it does in a grander setting.
