Rudolf B. Glatzel for Fristho coffee table - mid century dutch design

This is a truly stunning example of the iconic coffee table designed by Rudolf Bernd Glatzel in the mid-20th century for the renowned Dutch manufacturer Fristho. This piece of furniture is a showcase of the high quality and refined design for which the manufacturer from Franeker was known worldwide at the time. The most striking feature is the top, laid in a characteristic block pattern, giving the table a rich, lively appearance with deep colour nuances. The top rests on a slender and airy chrome metal base, creating a typical minimalist effect. The legs are finished in the characteristic Glatzel style with solid wooden 'socks', a detail that provides a warm and refined transition to the floor. This table has recently been fully restored with the utmost care. Both the woodwork and the metal have been treated, with the metal legs polished to a high gloss. To keep the furniture functional for daily use, the top has been given our unique, almost invisible coating, offering optimal protection against grease, dirt, and moisture without affecting the natural look and texture of the wood. This Glatzel coffee table is in absolutely beautiful condition and is a timeless investment that immediately adds luxury and character to a modern or Mid Century interior.
