Gueridon Tables, solid oak and wrought iron

Beautiful pair of gueridon tables by Elizabeth Garouste & Mattia Bonetti, model named crochets, designed in 1995 by the iconic duo, and edited by the galerie En Attendant les Barbares in Paris. Made in wrought iron by Diego Giacometti’s ironworker, waxed, with gold leaf finish on the hooks, topped by solid oak round tops, these are clearly statement pieces, especially for those that believe passionate expressions of creativity go hand-in-hand with interior design. These pieces are emblematic of the design duo’s commitment to avant-garde, romantic style, and are highly decorative. They have been fully restored, top revarnished, with the iron feet gently cleaned to respect their original patina. Each table is stamped.

Garouste & Bonetti duo were celebrated for inventing a new Baroque and barbarian romanticism. They became recognised as international players in the art and design market from the early 1980s to the late 1990s. Their furniture is inventive, unconventional, subtle, constituted by heteroclite and unusual materials, in reference to the Middle Ages and Africa, revisiting the Venetian baroque and the neo-classicism. As they once stated about their work : ‘Our hope is to give people the feeling of freedom in the choice of forms. Good taste really bothers us a lot. What we care about is implanting doubt. We don’t have any rules.’
