Coffee Table with Double Top in Chrome and Brass Balls at the Corners, Trav

This large two-tier coffee table is a characteristic example of French design from the 1970s, when the combination of polished chrome and warm brass accents became a defining feature of luxury interiors. The brass spheres at the corners—precisely cast spheres positioned at the junctions of the chrome frame's legs—introduce a decorative punctuation that enlivens the otherwise minimalist geometric composition, reminiscent of a technique widely employed by prominent French designers of the decade. The structure is designed according to a suspended tabletop logic: a first glass level rests on a low frame supported by four tubular chrome legs, while a second, higher glass top fits into a secondary frame that braces the whole. This double-shelf arrangement offers practical functionality while creating a play of transparency and reflections that is particularly refined. The glazed glass tops visually dematerialise the metal structure and give the piece an optical lightness despite its substantial dimensions. Its generous proportions—120 cm in length, 80 cm in width, and 46 cm in height—make it a coffee table intended to occupy the centre of a large reception area. The elongated rectangular format, common in 1970s representative furniture, pairs well with both a long sofa and a set of chairs arranged face-to-face. The moderate height evokes the characteristic relationship to the ground of low furniture from that era. In a contemporary interior, this coffee table naturally interacts with current aesthetics that revive chrome and brass from the postmodern period. It fits well in a living room with neutral tones, where its golden accents add warmth, as well as in a more assertive setting playing on material contrasts. A fine example of industrial craftsmanship and design.
