The city was at the height of its postwar glamour. Cinecittà was running at full capacity. The dolce vita had aged into something more confident, more polished, more international - and the furniture being made in Roman ateliers reflected it. Rega's signature was a bicolor metal detail: chrome and brass placed in deliberate contrast, the two tones interrupting each other at every corner and edge. He used the move on coffee tables, dining tables, console pieces, bar carts. It became his fingerprint. The pieces are sometimes signed and sometimes not, but the detail is recognisable on sight - the precise vertical run of chrome set against the warmer line of brass, each material kept honest by the geometry around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis side table is a small example. Square, two tiers, the corner posts split in chrome and brass; clear glass above, smoked glass below; the lower frame finished in brass with chrome capping. The proportions are spare - the table is a frame for the materials, nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eLight surface marks consistent with age. Patina to the brass.
