Neon Sculpture Cocktail Table by Rudi Stern for Let There Be Neon, circa 1976
Located in Los Angeles, CA
*NOTE* This is on sale during our current move. We are moving one of our locations so this item is on deep discount for a limited time.
An incredibly rare find, this highly collectible neon sculpture by Rudi Stern is also a functional object - as a large coffee table or cocktail table.
Stern founded the New York Studio and gallery 'Let There Be Neon' in 1972 and was instrumental in the proliferation of neon as an artform in the 1970s and 1980s, executing commissions for such artists as Nam June Paik, Chryssa, Laurie Anderson, Jeff Koons, Robert Rauschenberg and Keith Haring. Most famously he is known for his neon work which was commissioned for the infamous night time hot spot Studio 54, which this table possibly belonged to as he did not produce many furniture pieces in regular production. Later, after his death in 2006 this particular table emerged into the market to benefit his widow and now we have it offered here on 1stDibs.
This coffee table consists of an illuminating sculpture set into a plexi box constructed of opaque walls and base with a clear thick glass surface where the sculpture can be clearly viewed. Four suspended rings encircle one another in the depths on the box starting with the largest at the top which leads down to the smallest closest to the base. When plugged in the rings are vivid electric blue, yellow, red and coral. By turning the room lights off the neon rings...

Antique, New and Vintage Coffee Tables and Cocktail Tables
As a practical focal point in your living area, antique and vintage coffee tables and cocktail tables are an invaluable addition to any interior.
Low tables that were initially used as tea tables or coffee tables have been around since at least the mid- to late-1800s. Early coffee tables surfaced in Victorian-era England, likely influenced by the use of tea tables in Japanese tea gardens. In the United States, furniture makers worked to introduce low, long tables into their offerings as the popularity of coffee and “coffee breaks” took hold during the late 19th century and early 20th century.
It didn’t take long for coffee tables and cocktail tables to become a design staple and for consumers to recognize their role in entertaining no matter what beverages were being served. Originally, these tables were as simple as they are practical — as high as your sofa and made primarily of wood. In recent years, however, metal, glass and plastics have become popular in coffee tables and cocktail tables, and design hasn’t been restricted to the conventional low profile, either.
Visionary craftspeople such as Paul Evans introduced bold, geometric designs that challenge the traditional idea of what a coffee table can be. The elongated rectangles and wide boxy forms of Evans’s desirable Cityscape coffee table, for example, will meet your needs but undoubtedly prove imposing in your living space.
If you’re shopping for an older coffee table to bring into your home — be it an antique Georgian-style coffee table made of mahogany or walnut with decorative inlays or a classic square mid-century modern piece comprised of rosewood designed by the likes of Ettore Sottsass — there are a few things you should keep in mind.
Both the table itself and what you put on it should align with the overall design of the room, not just by what you think looks fashionable in isolation. According to interior designer Tamara Eaton, the material of your vintage coffee table is something you need to consider. “With a glass coffee table, you also have to think about the surface underneath, like the rug or floor,” she says. “With wood and stone tables, you think about what’s on top.”
Find the perfect centerpiece for any room, no matter what your personal furniture style on 1stDibs. Browse a vast selection of antique, new and vintage coffee table and cocktail tables today.
