About the Item

In mid-century design, there was an early emphasis on wood as it connected everyday objects, such as furniture to nature. This rustic, solid oak coffee table is a perfect example of this sentiment, and the visual benefits of an understated, organic design. Modern represented a break with the traditional past: design-wise, furnishings were often a rejection of Victorian, Colonial, and other historical influences, especially the pseudo-historical use of ornamentation. In comparison, Scandinavian furniture is generally more pared-down, smaller in scale, and uncluttered with unnecessary ornament: on this front, the movement shared qualities with the efforts of the Bauhaus designers’ vehement rejection of ornamentation. This low coffee table has a strong elemental feel to it, which is a result of its thick round tabletop and sturdy legs. The focus is on the material, letting the beautiful qualities of the oak wood stand out. The craftsman’s handiwork is visible throughout the table, adding to its organic charm. This model is a perfect accent table, bringing, while also complementing its surroundings. This coffee table follows the fundamental french design principles both aesthetically and technically. The simple design serves the purpose of showing the understated beauty of natural materials and their endless possibilities under the hands of an expert craftsman. Furthermore, oak is an especially durable hardwood that is extremely multi-faceted with a beautiful grain and texture as seen on the wide tabletop. Condition: In good vintage condition.
