Space age chrome & glass coffee table 1970s

Space age coffee table from 1970s Germany with a clear rectangular glass top supported by a striking tubular base. In the centre of the base, four curved metal tubes meet in an uprising movement, creating a bold geometric and almost architectural silhouette. What is most interesting about this coffee table, however, is how well the materials work together. The polished chrome base gives the piece a sturdy and sculptural look while the clear glass top does the exact opposite, as the mind associates it with fragility. This prevents the final design from feeling too heavy on the eye, so that it hits the perfect sweet spot between chunky and robust on one hand, while still feeling sleek and minimalistic on the other. The table measures 95x95x40 cm. The glass top was replaced by a new one and the base is in perfect (vintage) condition, with minimal age-related wear.
