Crafted in 1986 by Dutch designer Marcus Kingma, this table stands as a striking example of artistic craftsmanship passed from one generation to the next. As the son of celebrated artist Paul Kingma, Marcus grew up surrounded by the raw materials, sculptural forms, and architectural language that defined his father’s iconic work. Inspired by that creative environment, he developed his own approach in the 1980s and 1990s, shaping tables that echo the Kingma legacy yet speak with a voice distinctly his own.
This particular piece embodies the quiet strength and timeless presence that Kingma tables are known for. The concrete top feels monumental and serene, softened by the intricate inlays of slate, stone, and brass. Every detail is thoughtfully placed, creating a rich interplay of textures and natural tones. The work is signed M. Kingma ’86 on the surface, ensuring authenticity and offering a glimpse into its history.
More than a functional object, this table is a sculpture—an artwork designed to be lived with. It transforms any interior with its depth, character, and undeniable individuality. Each Kingma table was made as a one-of-a-kind piece, and this example is no exception: it tells its own story, shaped by materials that have existed for centuries but given new form through Marcus Kingma’s hands.
