John Piper London Skyline Coffee Table by Myer for Conran and Heal’s, c. 1960
About the Item
A very charming circa 1960 two-tier low coffee table featuring an illustrated London skyline top by John Piper, and produced by Myer for Conran and Heal’s.
White formica top serves as an expansive canvas for important UK painter, printmaker, and designer John Piper’s delightfully evocative street-level depictions of tree-lined vignettes showcasing London architectural landmarks such as St Paul’s Cathedral, St Martin-in-the-Fields, Lincoln’s Inn, and more.
Finely drawn and detailed black and white line work with mustard yellow, dark teal, navy blue, and deep purple color-blocking surrounded by light grey atmospheric accents, all rendered in a quintessentially mid-century modern hand-printed illustrative style.
Satin black powder coated minimalist metal frame, with a satin black painted wood lower level perfect for stowing items so that the captivating top remains on unobstructed display.
Produced by Myer, and retailed by Habitat founder Sir Terence Conran and by Heal’s from the mid-1950s through the 1960s.
John Egerton Christmas Piper CH (b. 1903–1992) was an influential and enduring multi-faceted artist, designer, and writer whose work often focused on the British landscape—especially churches and monuments—and included tapestries, book jackets, screen prints, photography, fabrics, and ceramics. He also designed and executed numerous notable stained glass commissions for cathedrals, colleges, and opera and theater sets. Piper’s London skyline coffee table is a great and attainable example of his overarching thematic inspirations and creative inclinations.
