About the Item

Jean Claude Dresse, coffee table, agate, brass, lacquered steel, Belgium, 1970s A glamorous custom-made cocktail table, crafted with high attention for detail which is characteristic for the work of the Belgian artist Jean Claude Dresse. The rectangular top shows striking handmade etched organic shapes throughout the whole surface. Agate stones are thoughtfully inlaid, serving as focal points amidst a framework of abstract patterns. The base is made in black lacquered steel, and forms an architectural appearance. A phenomenal composition is created which adds a visual excitement and a sense of nature. The side of the top is signed stating ‘Dresse’. Jean Claude Dresse (1946-) is a Belgian artist and designer. He graduated from the art academy in Charleroi. His background of being a visual artist is clearly visible in his furniture designs as he uses artistic techniques such as mosaic and etchings. His oeuvre embodies designs made of precious metals such as brass and copper. Together with his father Marcel, he was a prominent figure in the furniture business in the 1980s and belonged to the artistic Walloon School that focused on glamorous aesthetics. After he and his father were successful as designers Jean Claude embarked on a career as a visual artist. Dresse designed many furniture pieces on commission, which means that a large part of these items is custom-made.
