The trapezoidal tabletop, softened by elegantly rounded edges, is supported by slender tubular metal legs that follow the dynamic angles of the top, enhancing its sculptural presence. The tabletop itself is a remarkable work of art, reflecting the influence of 1950s Abstract Expressionism. Composed of carefully arranged mosaic stones in shades of grey, beige, yellow, and red, it presents a bold geometric composition rich in texture, color, and movement. The interplay of tones and forms creates a striking visual statement, transforming the piece from a functional furnishing into an artistic centerpiece. A superb example of Müller's iconic mosaic work, this piece embodies the optimism and creativity of postwar European design while retaining a timeless decorative appeal.The Mid-20th Century Contemporary coffee table is manufactured by Berthold Müller-Oerlinghausen, circa 1960's.
