It is a truly magnificent example of the iconic coffee table designed by Rudolf Bernd Glatzel in the middle of the last century for the renowned Dutch manufacturer Fristho.
This piece of furniture is a prime example 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 tabletop, laid in a characteristic block pattern. This gives the table a rich, vibrant appearance with deep color nuances. The tabletop rests on a slender and airy base of chrome-plated metal, creating that typical minimalist effect. The legs are finished in the characteristic Glatzel style with solid wood "socks," a detail that ensures 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 worked on, with the metal legs, among other things, being polished to a high gloss again. To ensure the furniture remains functional for daily use, the tabletop is fitted with our unique, almost invisible coating. This offers optimal protection against grease, dirt, and moisture, without affecting the natural appearance 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.
