L. De Boussy, Etched Brass Coffee Table, Belgium, 1976

An exceptionally rare and highly collectible coffee table by Belgian artist Felix De Boussy, created in 1976. This striking work stands at the intersection of Brutalist design and late 20th-century Belgian collectible art furniture, closely aligned with the exclusive circle of designers such as Ado Chale. Executed as a true one-off, the table embodies the essence of Belgian Brutalism — a movement defined by raw material expression, tactile surfaces, and sculptural presence. The richly etched brass top features a masterful geometric composition with deeply incised, abstract patterns, creating a dramatic interplay of light, shadow, and texture. The perimeter and underside are crafted from solid walnut, introducing warmth and refinement that contrast beautifully with the bold, architectural character of the brass. The table is supported by a powerful black lacquered metal base, reinforcing its sculptural and gallery-like presence. The brass plate is signed “F. De Boussy” and dated 1976, confirming its authenticity and placing it firmly within the most sought-after period of the artist’s work. Details: Designer: Felix De Boussy. Origin: Belgium. Date: 1976.
