Biosca Dining Table With Geometric Patterns In Pine, Spain 1960s

Creator: Biosca
Offered by: AtKris Studio

Description
Biosca dining table with geometric patterns in pine.The Biosca furniture, as we have already indicated, is shrouded in a haze of mystery. Where exactly does it come from, who made it and above all who is the inventor of these striking but very welcome altering appearances within the mid century design world? Questions to which no one really posesses the answer to.This table is also completely in the recognizable but special "Biosca" style. Two prominent legs are made of solid pine and are decorated on both sides with a geometric carving. This could be a reference to the strong Moorish influences in the south of the Iberian Peninsula where even more complex mosaics adorned the buildings.Incidentally, we see similar decorations in Spanish furniture and for instance doors from the seventeenth century. The wrought iron bars that reinforce the table in a crosswise manner can also be seen in tables from the above period. These are also attached to the outside of the legs with a beautiful rosette.This table initially communicates a robustness through the somewhat rough table top, but is mainly characterized by refinement when we look more closely at the base. So more than meets the eye and Biosca above all has mainly succeeded in summarizing an important part of Spanish aesthetic history in a piece of furniture.Obviously, this table has been used and shows normal signs of wear here and there. We are talking about scratches and diffusely distributed small color differences.?
