Brutalist tripod coffee table in elm burl, 1950.

Brutalist coffee table from the 1950s, made of a thick slice of elm burl mounted on three solid wood cylindrical legs. The circular top reveals the beauty and complexity of the burl pattern, with its characteristic knots and concentric rings. The slice retains its natural edge with the bark partially preserved, creating a textured contrast with the polished surface. This piece perfectly illustrates the post-war brutalist aesthetic that celebrated raw materials and organic forms. The three sturdy legs, carved from wood branches, firmly anchor this table while giving it a light and balanced silhouette that seems to almost float in space. Found in the central region, this table with natural lines will ideally serve as a coffee table, an end table, or even an original bedside table in a contemporary or vintage interior. Its sculptural character makes it a conversation piece that is sure to attract attention. The table features an exceptional patina that has preserved the natural light hue of the elm, without the yellowing often seen on pieces from this era. The surface of the top has been carefully preserved, highlighting the veins and complex patterns of the elm burl. As seen in the photos, the wood shows some natural cracks characteristic of tree slices, which attest to the authenticity of the piece. The structure remains perfectly stable and functional, and the whole is in remarkable condition for its age. Dimensions: Diameter of the top: 68 cm. Total height: 56 cm. Thickness of the top: 10 cm. Weight: approximately 25 kg.
