About the Item

Jean Claude Dresse, coffee table, brass, agate and steel, Belgium, 1970s A luxurious piece crafted with high attention for detail which is characteristic for the work of the Belgian artist Jean Claude Dresse. The combination of materials, steel, brass and agate, have a sumptuous character that emphasizes its rich appearance. Also the composition of the materials used for the tabletop is very artistic and naturalistic. The tabletop has a beautiful, detailed mosaic of inlayed brass and pieces of agate. The use of an almost architectural base in brushed steel lifts the tabletop in a way, which gives this heavy and sturdy table an interesting feeling of lightness. The table is completely handmade and almost a sculpture itself. Signed on the side of the table’s top. The table is in good, used condition and the brass is lightly patinated. Jean Claude Dresse (1946) is a Belgian artist and designer. He graduated from the art academy in Charleroi. His interest in the visual artist 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.
