This table by Sergio Asti, model Alice, was produced in Italy in 1986 by Up&Up. Defined by its geometric composition, the design combines a circular top with a sculptural base composed of intersecting vertical elements. The use of contrasting marbles, rosa marble and nero Marquina, emphasizes material variation while reinforcing the structural clarity of the form.
