"Free-form" coffee table in solid elm.
Typical of the French "Organic Modern" wave of the 1970s, this piece rejects straight lines. The tabletop is an incredible monoxyle (a single slice of wood) with a free form, revealing the movements of the elm burl. The thick "honey" varnish finish acts like a magnifying glass: it adds depth to the complex grain of the elm and captures light. It rests on a brutalist "stump" base, creating a striking contrast between the smooth surface of the tabletop and the rough texture of the base. It is a centrepiece for a living room: it anchors the space with its visual density and brings immediate organic warmth. Condition: Superb vintage condition. The thick varnish has a beautiful shine that protects the wood and enhances the contrasts of the grain. Massive structure and perfectly stable.
