Postmodern Primary Color Iron Coffee Table Base

About the Item

A dynamic postmodern coffee table base constructed from four intersecting curved iron forms, each painted in a bold primary tone—red, black, yellow, and white. The sculptural X-shaped design is visually engaging from every angle, offering both structural stability and graphic presence. Evocative of the Memphis movement and inspired by the color theory of Bauhaus, this piece transforms a functional object into an architectural statement. The thick rolled steel arcs are welded at the center, creating a symmetrical cruciform that can support a wide range of tabletop styles. A glass top is especially well-suited, allowing the bold composition and colors of the base to remain visible and central to the design. While the listing is for the base only, a custom glass top is available separately—please inquire for details. Ideal for collectors and designers seeking a high-impact anchor piece that bridges art and function. Works beautifully in both playful postmodern interiors and spaces that celebrate color theory and geometric form, as well as protected outdoor areas.
