Each console features a long, streamlined rectangular top supported by a sweeping curved structure with a graceful, almost ribbon-like profile. The richly figured dark wood showcases deep, expressive grain and brings warmth and movement to the geometric composition. At the centre of each console, black lacquered elements provide a sophisticated contrast while emphasizing the rhythm of the curved supports.

The long, slightly shaped plinth bases give the consoles a strong and grounded presence, while the open space beneath the tops preserves a sense of lightness and visual balance. The combination of aerodynamic curves, sharply defined horizontal lines and contrasting black lacquered details is characteristic of the refined French Art Deco aesthetic.

A remarkable pair for an entrance hall, salon, dining room or sophisticated contemporary interior. Placed together, the consoles create a powerful architectural statement; they may also be used separately in different areas of the same interior. See less
