About the Item
Jean Claude Dresse, coffee table, brass, brushed steel, Belgium, circa 1970
This remarkable rectangular coffee table, designed by the esteemed Jean Claude Dresse in the 1970s, exemplifies his signature bold and innovative style. The tabletop is a striking display of artistic fragmentation, showcasing an array of angular shapes meticulously crafted in brass. The brass surface is elegantly framed in brushed steel, creating a harmonious interplay between the two materials. Dresse’s ingenious use of materials and textures imparts a strong decorative character to the table, blurring the lines between functional furniture and a piece of art.
Jean Claude Dresse (1946) is a Belgian artist and designer. He graduated from the art academy in Charleroi. His interest in the visual art is clearly visible in his furniture designs as he uses artistic techniques such as mosaic and etchings. He makes use of precious metals such as brass and copper. Together with his father he was a prominent figure in the furniture business in the 1980s and he belongs to the artistic Walloon school that focussed on glamorous esthetics. When his father died and the market was more difficult, he could not continue to make the furniture on his own so he became a visual artist. In the 1970s a trend of decorative arts arised in Brussels. Key-designers were Aldo Chale, Georges Mathias, Willy Daro and Lova Creation. Their style was characterized by the use of gemstones as decorative element and the use of gold as primary color. The classical technique of etching was highly applied on their designs for coffee and cocktail tables.
