About the Item

There have been plenty of tell-tale signs that we’re looking back for our interior ideas, retro decor, nature-inspired rattan interiors, and bouclé fabrics to name a few. The 1980s’ style is also making a comeback; it is nostalgic and fun, which can bring comfort and a bit of whimsy into a home. The key to working ‘80s trends into a space is using an accent piece, such as this unique French table. When one thinks of this decade, words like over-the-top, bold, and even loud come to mind. Playing around with textures and patterns paved the way for experimenting with shapes, whereby curved furniture made its debut and softened the typically sharp edges of mid-century modern design. This table is peculiar in many ways, yet it can be adapted for more contemporary interiors. The design treads a fine line between art and design, sculpture and furniture. The structure is made of cast iron, allowing the curling lines to take their unique shape. The legs are twisted with loops, standing on ornamented bases. These are decorated with shell and starfish motifs and beautiful patina. The table-top is made of varnished stone with roughly cut edges and bold patterns. The thick top and thin legs create an interesting and balanced look. The 80s era is well known for its maximalist aesthetic, and like this table, was filled with wavy and modular forms bringing an energetic and playful look into homes. No matter from which angle this table is looked at, it has something outstanding to offer. The flamboyant, unashamedly whimsical post-modernist spirit popularized by Ettore Sottsass and his young collaborators in the Memphis movement in Milan is echoed in this table, which is its undeniable charm. Bringing curved furniture into a home is a trend that can effortlessly bring character to any space; from daring and playful to natural and calm. The look of the 80s, and therefore of this table, is a trend that can effortlessly provide this character; from daring to playful to natural and calm. While curves work well in most styles, the most obvious match would be mid-century modern where its roots first began. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.
