Modernist Brass Coffee Table

Modernist brass coffee table. Its pared-down design showcases the metal, whose warm reflections enliven the room and catch the light. Circa 1970.

Brass held an important place in 1970s furniture, which favoured geometric lines, shiny surfaces and a certain restraint of form. This coffee table belongs to that modernist aesthetic, in which structure and material alone create the decorative effect. Placed in front of a sofa or at the centre of a seating area, it offers a practical surface for books, objects and serving trays, and suits a contemporary interior as well as a more classical setting.
