In the 1960s, some German designers broke free from the strict codes of modernism to explore a freer, almost experimental, approach to furniture. This sculptural coffee table by Heinz Lilienthal is a remarkable example of this.
The square steel tray features an elaborate surface finish, achieved through a process of engraving and controlled oxidation. The sheet metal was textured and then chemically treated to reveal variations in color and organic patterns, reminiscent of a mineral map. The lines that structure the composition appear to have been carved or left untouched before treatment, creating a subtle relief perceptible to the touch and accentuating the depth of the design. Each tray thus develops a unique pattern, the result of a controlled reaction between metal and oxidizing agents.
The dark-stained solid wood base features a simple, graphic design, its vertical volumes contrasting with the expressive richness of the tabletop. The balance between structural rigor and an almost painterly surface gives the piece a strong sculptural presence.
A unique and rare piece, preserved in perfect condition, it measures 110 cm on each side and 43.5 cm in height.
A piece of furniture, bordering on art, intended for a collector's interior.
