Torquemada Console Table by Jacques Jarrige

The Torquemada console by Jacques Jarrige is a quietly expressive work that balances strength, grace, and sculptural subtlety. Handcrafted in oak, the piece features two branch-like legs that rise fluidly from the floor to support a gently curved top—evoking the natural rhythms and organic lines that define Jarrige’s practice.

The apron is adorned with a constellation of the artist’s signature faceted reliefs—angular forms that emerge from the surface like ripples in still water, animating the wood with a tactile, rhythmic presence. At the center, a discreet drawer is seamlessly integrated, offering both functionality and visual continuity without interrupting the sculptural flow.

Finished in a deep Napoleon III black stain, the surface reveals the lush grain of the oak beneath, adding richness and depth to the dark palette. This finish gives the piece a timeless, almost architectural quality—rooted in history yet unmistakably contemporary in its execution.

Refined yet organic, restrained yet full of movement, the Torquemada console exemplifies Jarrige’s ability to imbue functional furniture with poetic resonance. It serves beautifully as an entry console, a focal point in a hallway, or a subtle sculptural accent in any refined interior.
