Known for his impeccable craftsmanship and bold materiality, Springer drew inspiration from Art Deco, Modernism, and exotic global forms, often executing his pieces in opulent finishes like shagreen, parchment, and metal alloys.

This substantial cocktail table features a curved Lucite top set within a rounded bronze-clad frame, supported by four wide, arched legs. The patinated bronze surface has developed a warm, rich tone, enhancing its architectural presence and timeless appeal.

Part of Springer’s 'Banker' series, this design is emblematic of his ability to merge luxury with strong structural form. Monumental yet minimal, it brings a commanding sense of quiet glamour to any interior, from Brutalist to Hollywood Regency.
