Product description
Artistic Brutalist Brass-Etched Coffee Table in the Style of Bernhard Rohne, Germany, 1960s. Ref.: CT1001
An exceptional Brutalist coffee table from the 1960s, executed in the unmistakable style of German designer Bernhard Rohne. While the table cannot be definitively attributed to Rohne, its richly artistic composition, etched brass top, and expressive abstract pattern strongly recall the experimental works he created during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The rectangular tabletop features a beautifully acid-etched and oxidized brass surface, decorated with flowing, organic lines and layered abstract motifs that create remarkable depth and movement. The warm golden brass develops an ever-changing appearance depending on the light, making this table as much a sculptural artwork as a functional piece of furniture.
The top rests on a rosewood frame with two architectural panel legs, whose clean geometric lines perfectly balance the expressive artwork above. The contrast between the rich rosewood grain and the dramatic brass surface gives the table a distinctly luxurious yet understated presence.
With its bold artistic character, this piece fits beautifully within Brutalist, Mid-Century Modern, eclectic, contemporary or collectible design interiors. Whether used as a coffee table or displayed as a statement piece, it immediately becomes the focal point of any room.
The table remains in good vintage condition, showing light wear, minor scratches, and small losses to the brass finish along the edges, all consistent with its age and decades of careful use. These signs of time contribute to its authentic vintage character and do not detract from its impressive visual appeal.
A rare and highly decorative coffee table that captures the spirit of one of Germany’s most celebrated artistic furniture styles.
