Table - fossil stone, solid oak - A brutalist style round table with dark tone top, 1970s
Brutalist Round Coffee Table with Dark Fossil Stone Top – Germany, 1970s
This striking round coffee table from Germany (1970s) exemplifies the Brutalist aesthetic through its bold fusion of natural stone and architectural wood structure. The tabletop is crafted from dark fossil stone, featuring dramatic fossil inclusions, rich texture, and a tactile patina. The stone is inset into a circular solid oak frame, with three robust legs extending through the rim to form a sculptural support system.
The interplay between the raw geological top and the warm oak base gives this piece a powerful presence. It is ideal for collectors and lovers of mid-century / Brutalist design who seek a functional art object rather than just furniture.
