Pere Cosp Singel Model Coffee Table Walnut Iron Spain Post War Reconstruction

About the Item

PERE COSP (Barcelona, 1907-2007). Coffee table, 1948-1949. Walnut wood and iron feet. With marks of use. Provenance: House in Llavaneras (Barcelona) with an interior designed entirely by Pere Cosp in 1948-1949, referenced on the website dedicated to the author which lists the most important interior designs he made for individuals and companies. Measurements: 38 x 195 x 130 cm. Innovation and avant-gardism come together in this splendid coffee table, designed by Pere Cosp around 1950. The oval tabletop, made up of slightly separated walnut slats, rests on one side on a prismatic iron base. The other foot, consisting of a large oval made of walnut slats, gives the piece of furniture consistency. The table has a large open drawer that once again demonstrates the splendid play of full and empty spaces developed by Cosp. Pere Cosp was an interior designer and designer from Barcelona. With a largely self-taught background, Pere Cosp redirected the family Craft workshop towards interior design and integral decoration. The profession served to give free rein to his creative talent, intentionally distanced from the fashions and trends of the time. Proof of the non-conformist and restless personality that defined him are the designs of his furniture, which still retain an innovative and transgressive spirit. Cosp attended the Escuela de Artes y Bellos Oficios (School of Arts and Crafts), as well as the perspective classes of Professor Arola. But more important for him was the practical part: entering the family workshop and experiencing at first hand all the trades that were carried out there: gilding, mouldings and all kinds of restoration work. He also worked with the furniture maker Alonso and the decorator Parcerises. Pere Cosp was a Pioneer in the use of materials that could be called humble, such as pine wood, chipboard, raffia, etc., which he elevated to a higher level through their treatment and use. He often collaborated with other trades: in the field of metal, he worked with Biosca y Botey and Pere Peronella. In this line of collaborations, he produced screen feet, wall sconces, outdoor furniture for gardens, an extensive collection of knobs and handles. The decoration of these elements or the final finishing was always done in the workshop. He carried out combinations of great beauty: stone, marble - Terra Passani was the main supplier - mosaic, in collaboration with Bru, glass, Granell, enamel, lacquers. Over the course of his 50-year career, he transformed around a hundred private homes into modern Dwellings, often ahead of their time. His personal stamp impregnated every corner of the home: he distributed spaces, designed the furniture and decided even the smallest decorative detail.
