Brutalist Low Coffee Table in Slate Stone and Pine, Spain 1960s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This Brutalist coffee table is a true embodiment of post-war design sensibilities, where raw materiality merges with sculptural form. Furniture crafted in the Brutalist era rejected ornamentation in favour of structural and material quality, as evidenced by the composition of this coffee table.

Exemplifying the defining principles of Brutalism, this table embodies a philosophy centered around the use of unelaborated, rough materials. The key feature is the heavy, monolithic slate top, further reflecting the era’s fascination with organic imperfection and raw aesthetics. Slate - a durable material resistant to pressure, shock or bending - with its appealing pattern and textural surface, gives the design a unique robustness that is hard to imitate or force. As a result, the impression is quite elemental, particularly through the stone’s uneven surface and natural colour tones. In comparison, the wooden base displays a beautiful grain of dark wood and maintains a raw, unpolished appearance, allowing the tabletop to shine as the visual highlight of the piece. The combination of materials and rough surfaces makes this table a stylish example of Brutalism’s versatility. Coffee tables, in general, serve as design staples in living spaces for a multitude of reasons: beyond their utilitarian function of providing a surface for drinks and books, they anchor a room, creating a focal point around which furniture and conversation revolve. Overall, this design celebrates craftsmanship over machine precision, and is sure to be a conversation starter.

Featuring strong and distinctive details, this table could fit well in a modern interior, as well as in a minimalist space.
