Rounded Coffee Table in Solid Hardwood and Glass, Brazilian Mid-Century Modern

About the Item

This center table from Móveis Cantu, made with wood and glass, is a fine example of Brazilian mid-century design. The table features a circular glass top that sits comfortably on a wooden base. The base is constructed of rich, warm-toned wood, which was popular materials in mid-century furniture for their durability and fine grain. The design is notable for its elegant simplicity and the harmonious balance between the transparency of the glass and the solidity of the wood. The glass top is supported by a crossed wooden structure, which not only provides stability but also adds an interesting geometric detail when viewed from above. The legs of the table are cylindrical, with a slight taper, and are capped with round wooden ends that secure the glass top in place. The table reflects the mid-century modern aesthetic, characterized by clean lines, organic shapes, and a seamless flow between form and function. It is designed to be both a functional piece of furniture and a statement piece that captures the essence of mid-century modern design - an emphasis on simplicity, natural materials, and fine craftsmanship. About the manufacture: Móveis Cantu, known as Cantù Móveis e Interiores Ltda., was a Brazilian furniture manufacturer that played a significant role in the production of furniture during the 1960s. The company's furniture was designed by architects Jorge Jabour Mauad and Osires Cunha Meale, who emphasized the use of high-quality materials like Brazilian Hardwood, marble, leather, and locally-sourced fabrics. Their designs were part of a broader trend in Brazil, where architects designed furniture that was then crafted by smaller companies.
