Teak coffee table with lava ceramic by j.belarti 1960

Vintage coffee table signed J. BELARTI – teak, oak & lava enamel – 1950s/60s. Dimensions 160x64 cm. Height 50 cm. Large vintage coffee table combining teak, oak, and enamelled lava, signed J. Belarti. A sculptural and decorative piece, emblematic of French design from the 1950s–60s. Rectangular top with a central inlay of enamelled lava, featuring an abstract design in green, blue, and black tones. Handcrafted lava ceramic, each piece being unique. Framed in solid wood (teak and oak), with beautiful proportions and meticulous finishes. Elegant and stable legs, typical of French modernist furniture. A table as decorative as it is functional, ideal for a vintage, design, or gallery interior. Some claim that behind this name lies Julien de Covemaeker (a Belgian ceramist born in 1927, who worked in France and passed away in 2008), who may have chosen Belarti by combining the words BELgian and ARTIsts. It is said that the "J" stands for Julien, but more often than not, he fancied choosing "Juliette"... You will therefore see many listings referring to pieces by "Juliette Belarti.".
