This exceptional mid-century modern coffee table by Heinz Lilienthal is distinguished by its single-sheet hammered copper tabletop, a technically demanding and increasingly rare feature in post-war European design.

Rather than assembled panels, the tabletop is formed from one continuous sheet of copper, expertly worked by hand to create a subtly embossed surface with organic, rhythmic texture. The natural patina developed over time enhances the depth and tonal variation of the metal, lending the piece a warm, sculptural presence that shifts beautifully with the light.

The softly rounded edges and refined proportions reflect Lilienthal’s mastery of material and form, while the dark-stained, tapered wooden legs provide a calm architectural counterpoint to the expressive copper surface. The result is a table that feels both grounded and refined—decorative without excess, bold without ostentation.

A striking statement piece that functions equally well in a sophisticated modern interior or a curated collector’s setting, this table embodies the essence of German mid-century craftsmanship and material innovation.

An authentic and increasingly rare example of Heinz Lilienthal’s work, highly sought after by collectors of post-war European design.
