Cool deep purple colour and a fanciful design make this 1990s coffee table a 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 table, reflects their idea that furniture design should have no rules in terms of form, and therefore it feels blissfully free while being functional inside contemporary spaces. This table’s crisp purple resin feet are shaped into sturdy tapering columns and decorated with quirky spheres and three-dimensional squiggles. The surface is a thick glass slab, formed into gentle curves in an atypical painter’s palette shape. The piece is emblematic of the design duo’s commitment to avant-garde, romantic style, and is highly decorative. Each foot is signed BG and is in very good vintage condition. The glass top sits at 40 centimeters - 15.75 inches, and the 4 feet are screwed, very easy to dismantle and reassemble, and also cheaper to ship.
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.
