🟡 HERBARIUM

Sturdy coffee table consisting of a curved plywood frame and inlaid with ceramic tiles with leaf and flower motifs (Herbarium). The cocktail table stands on four round removable legs.The so-called “Garrigue” tiles were produced with a technique in which real leaves were pressed into the clay and fell apart during baking, leaving a finely detailed print. Roger Capron is the best-known designer of these tables for Atelier Callis in the Vallauris region of France. The table is not provided with a hallmark.

🟡 Balance by wires

Rare postmodern 80s table with a special construction designed by the Dutch architect Koen van Velsen (1952). The table has a solid wooden top with white Formica finish and a tapered table edge. The top is supported by a minimalist chromed steel frame on a weighted metal base and a continuous tension cable that keeps the table in balance. The tension cable is tensioned/fixed to three threaded rods with nuts. At the top, this connection is visible through three metal rosettes. Special conceptual version of a dining table.

Koen van Velsen (1952) is an architect from Hilversum, Netherlands known for his design work on the Discothèque Slinger, rehabilitation center Groot Klimmendaal and the library in Zeewolde. His work employs a contextual design approach, free of a personal esthetic (Wikipedia)
