About the Item

The coffee table crafted by Georges Mohasseb exemplifies a harmonious fusion of traditional craftsmanship, innovative design, and a meticulous attention to materiality that renders it truly unique and special. Central to the table's exceptional quality is Mohasseb's profound affinity for wood, evident in his choice of materials—American walnut, French oak, maple, birch—each carefully selected for its distinctive grain, texture, and color. By skillfully combining these woods, Mohasseb creates intricate patterns that not only showcase the natural beauty of the materials but also evoke a sense of visual depth and richness. However, it is the inclusion of oxidized brass that adds an unexpected element of sophistication and contrast to the table's design. Utilized strategically, the brass, particularly in the leg that is revealed on the table's surface, serves as a striking focal point, accentuating the table's sculptural form and imbuing it with a touch of contemporary elegance. Mohasseb's background as an architect and designer is evident in the meticulous attention to detail evident in every aspect of the table's construction. His extensive training, including studies at prestigious institutions such as Ecole Boulle in Paris and Domus Academy in Milan, has equipped him with the technical expertise and creative vision necessary to conceive and execute designs of exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Moreover, Mohasseb's exploration of materials extends beyond wood to include brass, resin, and plaster, reflecting his commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional craftsmanship and embracing innovative techniques and processes. By integrating elements of Middle Eastern tradition with contemporary design principles, Mohasseb imbues his furniture with a sense of cultural richness and timelessness that transcends mere functionality. Furthermore, Mohasseb's ethos of creating limited numbers of timeless designs underscores the table's exclusivity and enduring appeal. Rather than succumbing to fleeting trends, he focuses on producing pieces that stand the test of time, both aesthetically and structurally, ensuring that each creation is imbued with a sense of longevity and significance. In conclusion, the coffee table by Georges Mohasseb stands as a testament to the designer's unwavering dedication to craftsmanship, materiality, and innovation. Through its meticulous construction, thoughtful design, and rich combination of materials, the table embodies Mohasseb's distinctive artistic vision and represents a synthesis of tradition and contemporary elegance that sets it apart as a truly exceptional piece of furniture.
