Coffee table with a daring postmodern aesthetic, designed by Oscar Tusquets and manufactured by Casas in 1983. The base of the table is inspired by a clover, and is covered with tan leather stitched around a fiberglass mold. The glass top, square but with rounded corners, is attached to the metal plate. It is a design that combines organic inspiration with an elemental, minimalist structure. The result is an expressive and highly original design.
