About the Item

With a robust form this coffee table is the embodiment of 20th century brutalist design. It is somber, giving importance to eerie organic and rugged shapes in dark, earthy tones. The carvings, imperfections of the wood and the simple, rough design makes this table stand out with an elemental edge. The understated design of this coffee table captures the essence of Brutalism, a design movement that emerged in the mid-20th century as a reaction against the ornate excesses of modernism. Characterised by its bold use of natural materials, exposed structures, and minimalist forms, brutalist design has made a resounding impact on architecture and furniture alike. The choice of wood as the primary material for this coffee table adds a layer of sophistication and timelessness. The grain and texture of the wood becomes a central element of the piece, telling a story of time, growth, and resilience. Even at first glance, this table has a startling rawness, but with its dark-toned and slightly asymmetrical body, it is a greatly-balanced piece. Furthermore, the grain of the wood is not merely a surface detail; it contributes to the overall aesthetic of the piece, making it entirely unique, as no two boards are the same. What sets this coffee apart even further is the carvings on the side of the tabletop. This detail, while simple, lends the piece a charming, playful character. Today, as the creative world rekindles its romance with Brutalism, these mid-century pieces have become coveted treasures. This resurgence of interest can be attributed to a longing for honesty and authenticity in an era dominated by mass production. This coffee table showcases all these qualities, being a symbol of resilience, craftsmanship, and the enduring allure of simplicity. Condition: In good vintage condition.
