Designed by famous french actor Alain Delon in 1970’s for Maison Jansen collection, this stunning coffee table with Black Marquina marble top made out of one slab with brass and chrome tapered legs. Whereas the polished marble is highlighted by the dramatic contrast between the white veining in the black background, the legs show a classic interpretation of Art Deco inspiration with their chrome and brass tiered combination. Signed at the bottom.

“If I weren’t involved in films, I wish I were an architect,” wrote Alain Delon. The year was 1975 and the French actor was at the Salone del Mobile in Milan presenting his furniture line.
