Vintage teak and copper coffee table in the style of Heinz Lilienthal – Germany, circa 1970.

This vintage coffee table in teak and copper is a square table with an acid-etched copper top and a teak base, in the style of Heinz Lilienthal. It originates from Germany, from the mid-20th century, within the German modernist design of the 1970s. The acid etching on copper was the technique that made the German artist Heinz Lilienthal recognisable, known for panels and tables with abstract relief metal surfaces. This piece reflects that language, although it bears neither signature nor mark for definitive attribution. The base is made of solid teak, with straight lines and visible joint angles, and the top is a copper plate with an abstract etched pattern, resembling an urban grid seen from above. The combination of warm wood and metal defines the character of the piece. The patina of the copper has turned to warm, coppery tones over time, while the teak retains its grain and a soft sheen. The overall piece shows light wear, consistent with its age. With its low, square format, it can be used as a coffee table in front of a sofa or as an accent side table. It fits into mid-century, vintage, and contemporary interiors, where the etched top adds a warm graphic point. Details. Dimensions: Length 75 cm – Depth 75 cm – Height 40 cm. Style: Mid-century.
