Description:

Designed by renowned French architect Bernard Vuarnesson for Bellato in the 1980s, the “Hexa” coffee table is a striking example of functional modernist design. Engineered with a sophisticated pull-out mechanism, the table features sliding and swiveling panels that expand outward to reveal multiple surfaces in alternating cream and black laminate finishes, framed in warm-toned wood.

This geometric masterpiece transforms effortlessly from a compact square to a dramatically extended platform, offering modular functionality for living spaces that value adaptability, style, and precision craftsmanship. A collector’s favorite, the Hexa table exemplifies French and Italian innovation and postmodern design ideals—ideal for interiors ranging from minimalist to eclectic.
