Sculptural round coffee table in wenge and smoked glass, 1970s.

A remarkable round coffee table from the 1970s, combining the richness of wenge with smoked glass and characterized by bold geometric proportions and a distinctly architectural presence. The table rests on three imposing cylindrical wenge legs, arranged around the perimeter and slightly elevated compared to the glass top. Their pronounced verticality elegantly contrasts with the delicacy of the smoked glass. A curved wooden frame hugs the circumference of the top, connecting the three legs and creating a refined and original structure. The smoked glass, integrated into this structure, maintains a visual lightness, fully revealing the sculptural base. The deep brown tones and pronounced grain of the wenge are highlighted by the dark smoked glass, offering a sober and sophisticated palette of materials. Despite its robust construction, the transparency of the glass gives the table a surprisingly light appearance. Through its combination of cylindrical volumes, circular geometry, and marked material contrasts, this table is an emblematic example of European modernist design from the 1970s, with a subtle brutalist touch.
