Oval Coffee Table in Carrara Marble and Glass by Ronald Schmitt, Germany, 1970s

This elegant coffee table by Ronald Schmitt combines sculptural clarity with refined materiality. The oval glass top rests on a tilted cylindrical base in fine Carrara marble, whose natural veining lends depth and individuality to the piece. The interplay between the transparent surface and the solid marble base creates a harmonious tension—lightness balanced by weight, minimalism animated by natural pattern. A timeless design, it reflects Schmitt’s talent for translating modernist principles into furniture of quiet luxury.
