Rudolf Bernd Glatzel coffee table in rosewood Fristho The Netherlands 1962

About the Item

Striking coffee table designed by Rudolf Bernd Glatzel for Fristho, The Netherlands 1962. It is a refined example of postwar European modernism. Its elegant structure combines a clear glass top with a sculptural base made of stainless steel and a gently curved rosewood stretcher, showcasing a perfect balance of material contrast and thoughtful proportion. The transparent top floats lightly above the minimalist frame, allowing full visibility of the beautifully grained rosewood support, a signature detail that adds warmth and character to the otherwise industrial aesthetic. Precision joinery and exposed bolts lend the piece an architectural, almost engineered quality, while maintaining a sense of refinement. Sophisticated and understated, this Glatzel design is more than a functional table, it’s a collectible statement piece that embodies the innovation and craftsmanship of early 1960s Dutch design. Ideal for both modernist interiors and eclectic spaces seeking a sculptural centerpiece. The table is in very good original condition, the glass top has some superficial light scratches from use.
