This Coffee Table in Rosewood was designed by Martin Eisler (1913-1977) for Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte. This piece refers to a furniture typology common at midcentury and very produced by Forma: the showcase table.
The coffee table is composed of two tops, one in Rosewood and the other made of glass. With perfect proportion between the Rosewood structure and its cutouts, the piece plays with the vision, exploring the geometric shapes formed from the presences and voids of material.
Besides the aesthetics richness, the fascinating proposal allows the user to exhibit objects under the glass top without compromising the table’s usable space. There are also two lateral drawers, covered by the opaque glass top.
This piece presents an original opaque glass, but this model has variations in painted glass.
It has a paper label from Forma S.A. Móveis e Objetos de Arte.
