Rectangular coffee table designed by Arturo Pani for Muller, produced in Mexico, circa 1950s. The top is composed of organic onyx stone fragments set within a dark resin matrix, creating a mosaic surface with beautiful natural patterning. The warm range of amber, honey, and caramel tones is contrasted by the darker ground, emphasizing the veining and layered translucency of the stone.
A thin copper edge band frames the top, introducing a subtle warmth that bridges the stone surface and the base. The table is supported by four square brass legs with a straightforward, architectural stance. The metal surfaces show light, even wear consistent with age, complementing the material character of the piece. There is a small chip to the resin top, visible upon close inspection.
The composition balances the expressive surface of the stone with a restrained, linear base, resulting in a clear and well-proportioned example of mid-century Mexican design.
