Product description
This elegant coffee table is an excellent example of the 1970s flair for combining organic forms with modern materials, creating functional works of art.
Designed by G-Plan in the UK, this "tulip" table is a celebration of the innovative furniture design of the period.
The table's structure is made from bent plywood, a technique that creates graceful curves and flowing lines.
The use of plywood is enhanced by the rich color of teak veneer, which gives the appearance of solid wood while ensuring flexibility and durability.
Teak, with its golden-brown hue and straight grain, was a popular material in the 70s, appreciated for its durable quality and aesthetic appeal.
A clear glass top rests elegantly on the wooden frame, providing a sleek surface that beautifully enhances the warm tones of the teak.
The transparency of the glass lends a light, airy feel to the room, ensuring that it doesn't overwhelm the space, yet makes its own design statement.
Beneath the glass top is a substantial base shelf, providing additional storage space and reinforcing the table's functionality.
The integration of chrome finishes adds a touch of shine and modernity, contrasting with the natural wood elements.
Completing the design, the coffee table is mounted on castors, which glide smoothly for easy movement. This practical feature underlines the table's versatility and ability to adapt to different living spaces.
Overall, this "tulip" coffee table by G-Plan embodies the design spirit of the 1970s, when the elegance of natural materials met the sophistication of modern finishes, resulting in pieces that are both beautiful and utilitarian.
