About the Item

Martin Eisler (1913-1977) designed this rosewood coffee table for Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte. It belongs to a furniture category commonly found during the midcentury period and extensively produced by Forma: the showcase table. The coffee table consists of two surfaces, one made of rosewood and the other crafted from glass. The proportions between the rosewood structure and the cutouts are perfectly balanced, creating a visually engaging piece that explores geometric shapes formed by the presence and absence of materials. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, this fascinating design allows users to display objects beneath the glass surface without sacrificing the table's usable space. The table also features two side drawers, concealed beneath the opaque glass top. While this particular piece retains its original black glass, variations in glass finishes are available for this model.
