Draenert Finale marble side tables

German furniture designer Peter Draenert believed that “a table must be more than just beautiful to look at. It is our responsibility as designers to give it a further dimension.” Before becoming a designer Draenert had completed a PhD on the poet Friedrich Hölderlin. Soon afterward he was walking in the Swabian Mountains when he discovered a slab of slate containing ancient fossils which he brought home and converted into a tabletop. This episode ultimately led him to create his own furniture company in 1968. As a result, all his subsequent furniture betrays a deep fascination with the sculptural potential and hidden resonances of stone.

This stunning coffee table has a round top interlocking with a solid sculptural base made of marble. An aluminium cone-shaped connection keeps the two sections together, and on this cone, you will find the original mark of the designer and maker. It comes in a good vintage condition, with wear consistent with age and use. It has no chips, but does have some stains and markings on the top.
