About the Item
Designed by famous influential pop artist, Louis Durot, this tongue coffee table is sure to make a statement. Constructed of polyurethane and lacquer, this table is truly a functional work of art.
The coffee table, aptly titled the tongue table, looks just like a tongue. This table is jet black and is very sculptural in nature. While this table is indeed very bold, it's a wonderful conversation piece that will definitely add a spice to any more "vanilla" or blasé environment.
As photographed, the table looks wonderful with the Vladimir Kagan cloud sofa. We have the chair currently in the gallery with other pieces of furniture by Olivier Mourgue and Pierre Paulin, and not only does this chair hold its own, it makes a statement. This chair would look wonderful in any mid century modern, modern or contemporary post-modern environment.

View AllFree Form Biomorphic Brass and Glass Coffee Table, 1970's
By Karl Springer
Located in Culver City, CA
This coffee table is absolutely gorgeous. Consisting of two circular bases, clad in brass with a free form / biomorphic black tinted glass top, this coffee table is jaw droppingly gorgeous.
The free form glass top floats like a cloud on top of the two rounded bases, and the bases can be situated in a number of ways beneath the black tinted glass. This coffee table brings that 1970's glamour like none other. Very evocative of Karl Springer's free-form coffee tables, this large coffee table would look incredible in any Mid-Century Modern, modern, or glam environment.
Juxtapose the Vladimir Kagan cloud sofa, this coffee table not only holds its own, it makes a bold, glamorous statement. We currently have this piece in the gallery paired with a Karl Springer goatskin credenza, a Vladimir Kagan sofa and Paul Evans lounge chairs...

Paul Evans Patchwork Coffee Table With Slate Top, 1970's
By Paul Evans
Located in Culver City, CA
Looking for a coffee table that’s more than just furniture-- well this is a functional work of art. This Paul Evans original is a stunning example of mid-century artistry with a flair for the unconventional. Handcrafted from a mesmerizing patchwork of patinated copper, enameled steel, and pewter sheeting, this table brings together materials and textures in ways that no two tables are alike. And then there’s the slate top—thick, heavy, and sitting flush in its groove like it was meant to be there from the beginning of time.
While there are other examples of this coffee table floating around the collector's universe, let me tell you: they’re not all created equal. Many show signs of over-polishing or even sanding, stripping away that rich, sought-after patina that true collectors drool over. But this example? It’s the gold standard. The patina has aged to perfection, offering a rich variety of tones, textures, and colors that dance across the surface. Every corner reveals a new surprise. Yes, the slate top has a few rough edges, but let’s be real—that only adds to its character. And the best part? The slate fits so perfectly into its base so snug you'd be hard pressed to squeeze a sheet of paper between them.
Now, let’s talk about the man behind the magic—Paul Evans. Born in 1931 and passing away in 1987, Evans was a driving force in the American Craft Movement. He pushed the boundaries of furniture design, turning traditional techniques on their head and creating pieces that were part sculpture, part functional art. His use of metal, especially in his iconic Cityscape and Sculpted Bronze series, made him a trailblazer of mid-century modernism and brutalist design.
Evans started his career working with metal in a tiny shop in New Hope, Pennsylvania with his pal Phillip Lloyd Powell—just down the road from fellow American Craft legends like George Nakashima. But Evans didn’t stop with wood and craft traditions. Instead, he worked with metal in ways no one else was doing, blending industrial and handmade aesthetics. Every piece was unique, handmade, and bursting with Evans' signature rough-hewn, heavily textured style.
His work, especially these patchwork metal tables...
