I had an eye on this one on ebay, but it exceeded my budget. I do love the idea of having a table that offers 2 heights and 2 tabletop sizes, such flexibility in a functional, yet delicate design! Industrial, but somehow quite elegant.
It does look a little raw, so maybe it's a single piece?

The seller mentions Gio Ponti and Ico Parisi as influences and says it's Italian, but the table remains unidentified. I see some Prouvé influence as well (imagine it with Standard or Wood chairs)
Any input on the designer / manufacturer would be great, as I'd really like to know more!

Cesare Lacca did a bar cart with a similar foldable top + liked ebonised and natural wood combos (who doesn't?)

It's kind of Prouve, very industrial and raw looking. The metal legs really dominate the whole appearance for me but the fact that it's both a coffee and desk or dining table is great!
