Fossil stone coffee table produced by Collection Fossile in Switzerland around 1980. The rectangular tabletop with rounded corners reveals a richly veined surface, incorporating visible marine fossils, including shells and cephalopod fragments dating back approximately 340 to 480 million years. The polished surface of the stone highlights the organic and mineral structure of these natural inclusions, creating a unique and unrepeatable pattern. The table rests on a central base of solid exotic hackberry wood, whose simple and stable structure contrasts with the graphic density of the tabletop. This combination of ancient mineral material and solid wood gives the piece a strong sculptural presence, somewhere between furniture and a collector's item. Manufacturer: Collection Fossile, Switzerland, circa 1980.
