Polychrome brutalist coffee table

The essence of Brutalism, an architectural movement originating in the mid-20th century, is captured in the un-embellished design of this coffee table. It proudly showcases raw, bold geometric forms, and a prioritization of function over adornment. Both visually and technically, this piece celebrates the inherent beauty of the material. The atypical choice of material - polychrome - is created by layering multiple materials like paint, gesso, varnish, or even metallic gilding, atop a foundation for an attractive laminated effect. The result is a strong, durable table that looks and feels like textured stone but is lighter and more resistant. The table is in good vintage condition.
