This good-sized organic modern coffee table, dating to the 1970s, is a striking example of studio craft furniture distinguished by its extraordinary use of hand-applied copper inlay with scattered brass accents. The top is composed of countless irregular geometric segments—hexagonal and free-form—carefully fitted together to create a richly textured, mosaic-like surface that reads as both sculptural and architectural.

The copper exhibits a wide range of natural tonal variation, from warm burnished orange to deeper oxidized browns, interspersed with occasional brass elements that introduce subtle flashes of golden contrast. The entire surface is sealed beneath a thick, durable lacquer finish, lending depth and gloss while protecting the complex inlay work. Measuring approximately 7 inches thick, the top has a commanding physical presence and a distinctly artisanal character.

The slab rests on a low, ebonized plinth base with clean, rectilinear lines that visually ground the composition and heighten the contrast between the organic surface above and the restrained modern form below. With overall dimensions of 50 inches wide x 30 inches deep x 16 inches high, this table functions equally as a centerpiece coffee table or a sculptural focal point.

A powerful and collectible work evocative of Brutalist and Organic Modern design, reflecting the era’s fascination with material experimentation, handcrafted processes, and bold architectural scale.

The tabletop measures 50" wide x 30" deep x 16" high.
