Extraordinary coffee table, model 2315 "Tiretti", was produced by Giorgio Tura for Tura in the 1980s and is documented in the company’s original catalogue.
The project perfectly represents the sculptural and luxurious approach that made Tura’s production famous, combining precious materials, monolithic volumes, and a strong scenic presence.
The table features a large rectangular top with rounded corners, made of natural parchment dyed in a deep tobacco tone, finished with the characteristic high-gloss thick lacquer that enhances the natural organic variations of the surface. The texture of the parchment creates an almost pictorial effect, with shades and chromatic movements that make each piece absolutely unique.
One of the most fascinating elements of the design is the system of four pull-out drawers, integrated laterally into the structure.
When closed, they are perfectly invisible and preserve the purity of the table’s line; once extracted, they reveal mirrored serving trays ideal for placing glasses, objects, or small cocktail elements.
This functional solution, typical of Tura’s design ingenuity, transforms the coffee table into a true convivial centerpiece for the living area.
The table rests on a central architectural base also covered in parchment, which provides stability and sculptural presence.
Given the considerable mass of the structure, due to the combination of structural wood and four drawers, the table is equipped with hidden wheels, allowing it to be easily moved within the space while maintaining an extremely clean visual appearance.
The generous dimensions and strong material identity make this coffee table a true statement piece, capable of defining the entire living space.
The glossy surface captures the light and enhances the natural shades of the parchment, creating a refined dialogue with materials such as velvet, brass, glass, or leather.
The piece is in excellent vintage condition, with the parchment perfectly preserved and the glossy lacquer still bright, with natural signs of time consistent with its age.
An iconic and highly decorative coffee table, a perfect example of Tura’s aesthetic language in the 1980s, capable of combining material luxury, functionality, and strong sculptural presence.
