Kaizo Oto Gold Black And Steel Art Deco Inspired Round Glass Top Coffee Table
By Kaizo Oto, Paul Evans
Located in Chattanooga, TN
Commanding and luminous, this vintage Kaizo Oto coffee table is a masterclass in sculptural modernism. The design fuses Art Deco refinement with Bauhaus geometry and De Stijl balance—resulting in a bold, timeless visual statement worthy of center stage in any contemporary interior.
At its crown is a luxuriously thick round glass surface (½-inch clear bevel), 43¾ inches in diameter, perched above a dynamic sculptural base. The structure below stands 13.5 inches high and spans 41¼ inches in diameter—an architectural contrast of sleek horizontal planes and vertical restraint.
Crafted from steel, brass-toned, and black-finished metal, each bracket, support, and form is individually scaled for visual harmony and stability. The asymmetric geometry builds tension—unexpected angles meet polished surfaces, creating an elegant tension that evokes both Mondrian’s rigor and Frank Lloyd Wright’s organic structure. Elegant in its complexity, the table invites admiration from every vantage point.
Produced in the 1980s for the Design Institute of America under the Kaizo Oto name, this piece exhibits original finish and character. Patina and minor surface wear (particularly on the steel base) add depth and authenticity without diminishing its striking visual presence. The glass is intact, with no chips or cracks.
Comparable Kaizo Oto coffee tables—beloved for their inventive form and collectible quality—typically appear between approximately $3,000 and $5,400, depending on finish and rarity. This particular gold-black-steel iteration offers exceptional dramatic flair while remaining functionally elegant.
The sheer presence of this table transforms a room: the reflective glass emphasizes the structural dance of metal below, drawing the eye into its interplay of mass and shadow. It is an objet d'art as much as a tabletop—perfect for gallery-inspired spaces, minimalist lounges, or offices that prize architectural poise.
