Marie-Claude De Fouquières orange fractal resin coffee table 1970

This coffee table, designed by marie-claude de fouquières in the 1970s, is a remarkable piece. Its top is made from amber orange fractal resin with golden reflections, evoking the cosmos. Fractal resin is the product of a complex chemical process, resulting from high temperature baking followed by multiple polishing phases. Its appearance is often described as quasi-magical, with its sparkles, fragmented patterns and unique features, such as bubbles or crystals. Each fractal resin piece is unique, making this coffee table a unique piece. It is supported by a brushed steel structure and base, adding to its characteristic charm of the 1970s. This emblematic work of its time is a true centerpiece that will captivate attention. Marie-claude de fouquières (1937) is a french furniture designer who created nearly 1, 800 pieces in fractal resin between 1969 and 1977. Her "exploded" style, the result of a chemical reaction in the resin, earned her recognition worldwide, attracting renowned clients such as david de rothschild and the emir of qatar, as well as famous decorators such as david hicks and henri samuel. Like maria pergay with stainless steel, de fouquières was a precursor of her time, working with an emblematic material of the 70s.
