Rectangular Coffee Table in Solid Pine with Rounded Corners, in the Taste of Pierre Chapo, 1970s

The coffee table features a thick rectangular top in solid pine with generously rounded corners, whose softened edge underlines the warm mass of the wood; the flamed grain and the knots of the pine animate the whole surface. The base is composed of four solid wood panels arranged in an open square under the top, creating a stable support and a low silhouette with frank lines.

This work of solid wood with full forms and frank joinery belongs to the 1970s movement embodied by Pierre Chapo, whose work in solid elm brought art joinery and elementary volumes back into favour; our table allows a stylistic connection, in a warm and luminous blond pine version.

Condition report: Good overall condition. Pine with a homogeneous blond patina, small marks and wear of use on the top and the legs, of no consequence. A convivial and robust coffee table, perfect in a living room of natural materials or a country house.
