About the Item
in 1970’s, 1970s Merrow Associates Chrome Smoked Glass Dining Table
Description:
Step into the glamorous haze of 1960s and 1970s British design with this exceptional dining table by Merrow Associates, crafted under the visionary direction of Richard Young. Founded in London in the early 1960s, Merrow Associates emerged as a hidden gem in the global furniture scene, blending modernist innovation with luxurious materials. Their pieces, sold through prestigious retailers like Harrods and Heals, graced the homes of European elites and international tastemakers, with their sleek designs finding a special place in collections worldwide.
This dining table, with its striking smoked glass top, is a product of that golden age—a design that feels like a prop from a 1970s cinematic masterpiece, blending futuristic flair with nostalgic charm. Sourced from a private estate in the beautiful countryside of Kent, where it once anchored elegant gatherings, its provenance hints at a life well-lived among discerning collectors, adding an air of intrigue to its already captivating presence.
The table’s base is a sculptural triumph of chrome-plated steel, featuring interlocking curved arches that evoke the grace of a suspension bridge or a modernist sculpture. The mirror-like finish of the chrome creates a mesmerizing play of reflections, while the substantial smoked glass top—measuring approximately 72 inches in length and 38 inches in width—casts a moody, translucent glow that contrasts beautifully with the gleaming metal. This dark, enigmatic glass not only enhances the table’s sophistication but also allows the intricate base to shine through, making it a perfect centerpiece for intimate dinners or lavish soirées.

1970s Renato Zevi for Banci Firenze Chrome and Brass Glass-Top Center Table
By Banci Firenze
Located in Tonbridge, Kent
Step into the opulent world of 1970s Italian design with this breathtaking center table - also perfect as a dining table, a rare collaboration between visionary designer Renato Zevi and the storied Florentine manufacturer Banci Firenze. This piece is a true testament to the era’s fearless blend of Hollywood Regency glamour and mid-century modern innovation—a sculptural masterpiece that transforms any dining space into a scene straight out of a Fellini film.
Renato Zevi, a celebrated Italian designer of the 20th century, was renowned for his ability to fuse sleek modernity with luxurious materials. In the 1970s, Zevi partnered with Banci Firenze, a prestigious house founded in 1899 by Giuseppe Banci, originally famed for its exquisite chandeliers. By the mid-20th century, Banci Firenze had expanded into furniture, becoming a beacon of Italian craftsmanship. Together, Zevi and Banci Firenze created this iconic center/dining table, a perfect embodiment of their shared passion for bold design and meticulous artistry.
The table’s base is a work of art in itself—a dynamic composition of chrome and brass-plated metal, crafted into a fan-like structure that evokes the elegance of a palm frond or a modernist sculpture. The base features four gracefully curved supports that flare outward, each composed of alternating chrome and brass bands, catching the light with every angle. This intricate metalwork is anchored by a geometric plinth, adding a sense of grounded sophistication. Above, a thick, round glass top—measuring approximately 127.5cm in diameter—provides a sleek, transparent surface that allows the stunning base to take center stage. The glass is in excellent vintage condition, with only minor surface scratches consistent with its age, adding to its authentic charm.
This table tells a story of a glamorous era when design was daring and unapologetic. Imagine it in a chic 1970s Milanese apartment, hosting lavish dinner parties where artists, designers, and intellectuals gathered to sip martinis and debate the future of art. Its reflective chrome and warm brass tones paired with the airy glass top create a striking contrast, making it a versatile piece that can elevate both minimalist modern interiors and more eclectic, vintage-inspired spaces.
