The story

Beautiful brutalist side table table by Elizabeth Garouste & Mattia Bonetti, model Isis, designed in 1987 by the iconic duo, and produced by the famous gallery En attendant les Barbares. Made in wrought iron hand beaten and waxed, this table is clearly a baroque and brutalist statement piece, especially for those that believe passionate expressions of creativity go hand-in-hand with interior design. Elizabeth Garouste & Mattia Bonetti were a team of designers, based in Paris, who brought extraordinarily imaginative designs into the mainstream. Their work, like this gueridon, reflects their idea that furniture design should have no rules in terms of form and materials. The piece is emblematic of the design duo’s commitment to avant-garde, romantic style, and is highly decorative. The table is signed and stamped, and is in mint condition.

About Garouste & Bonetti

Elizabeth Garouste (born 1949) and Mattia Bonetti (born 1952) worked together in Paris from 1980-2002. Their Barbarian furniture of 1981 challenged modernist orthodoxy with rough materials and archaic forms, and in 1987 they designed the couture house of Christian Lacroix. Their pieces, shown at Galerie Néotu and later David Gill, mix bronze, wrought iron, wood, rope and colour. Collectors seek numbered editions and early one-off works.
