‘Stalagmite’ coffee table, model no. PE-128, 1969.

Description
American furniture designer, sculptor, and artist, Paul Evans is one of the most recognizable and versatile figures in the American Craft Movement of the post-war period, and arguably the most collectible American furniture designer of the late 20th Century.
Known for his innovative production techniques and experimental treatments in working with a variety of metals, Evans developed a distinct set of expressionist aesthetics that combined the pictographic collage-like compositions of modern artists such as Adolph Gottlieb and Louise Nevelson, with the raw naivety of the Brutalist movement.
The ‘Stalagmite’ coffee table is a stunning example of Paul Evans designs for Directional Furniture. Evans introduced the bronze series in 1964, using a mixture of craftsmanship and experimental technology. To achieve a stalagmite-looking design, Evans used epoxy with applied bronze over a frame in steel. This technique resulted in brutalist designs with vivid surfaces of metallic sheen. -
