ALBA COFFEE TABLE BY MICHELA NARDIN
ALBA COFFEE TABLE BY MICHELA NARDIN reveals its full surface drama most clearly: a sweeping organic top — somewhere between a rounded triangle and a river stone in silhouette — covered almost entirely in 24-karat gold leaf glass tiles that shimmer and shift with every change of light, then interrupted at one edge by a bold sweep of vivid teal-blue glass that cuts across the gold like a horizon line, or the edge of a Venetian lagoon meeting a gilded sky.
This two-tone mosaic composition is assembled by designer Michela Nardin herself, tile by tile, using spizzi sourced exclusively from the historic Orsoni factory in Venice — one of the world’s oldest and most revered producers of gold and colored smalti glass. Each of the 1,450 tiles is individually placed, and because the process is entirely hand-assembled, no two Alba tables share the same exact tile configuration. The proportions of gold to blue, the precise edge where the two tones meet, the angle of light each tile catches — all of it is unique, making every piece a genuinely singular work of applied art.
The three tapered legs in antiqued brass — crafted by master metalworkers in Tuscany — complete the composition with a mid-century material elegance that grounds the mosaic’s brilliance without competing with it. The warm patinated brass echoes the gold of the tiles above, tying the palette into a coherent whole.
At W 13.4 × D 13.4 × H 15.0 inches, the ALBA COFFEE TABLE BY MICHELA NARDIN is a precision accent object — small in footprint, enormous in presence.
