Heinz Lilienthal glass coffee table 1970s

Heinz Lilienthal coffee table from the 1970s, featuring an impressive 30 mm thick cast glass top resting on an architectural wooden base. The substantial rectangular top is characterised by a lively texture with trapped air bubbles, giving the glass an almost fluid appearance and allowing it to catch the light in a remarkable way. The cream-white stained wooden base is composed of a rhythmic arrangement of vertical elements, creating a different silhouette from every angle. The combination of solid glass and the graphic base creates a strong contrast between transparency and volume. An expressive design that works equally well as a coffee table or as a standalone object, reflecting Heinz Lilienthal’s experimental design language of the period. In good vintage condition with light signs of use consistent with age.
