The table derives its name from Guarujá, a coastal city in São Paulo known for its natural beauty and modern architectural development during the 1950s. Zalszupin likely drew inspiration from the region’s blend of organic landscapes and contemporary urbanism, reflecting these qualities in the table’s design.

This innovative technique repurposed leftover factory scraps, creating a sustainable and visually dynamic surface. The top is supported by a solid concrete base wrapped in beige leather with tone-on-tone stitching, blending industrial sturdiness with a refined tactile quality.

The interplay of warm walnut figuring against the darker striped banding reflects the material sophistication typical of Italian cabinetmaking of the period, where veneer selection carried as much design weight as form itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modernab ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57563165360501,"sku":null,"price":9000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/5688\/7157\/files\/fv1-6163-1400x.jpg?v=1789046172"},{"product_id":"freeform-sculptural-table-in-chromed-metal-1990s","title":"Freeform Sculptural Table in Chromed Metal, 1990s","description":"\u003cp\u003eFreeform sculptural table in chromed metal, France, 1990s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silhouette of this coffee table reads as a single cross-section of a tree trunk, its top surface an irregular, cloud-like shape with a gently scalloped perimeter that catches light along every curve. The base is worked in a continuous vertical rippling pattern, alternating deep folds and rounded ridges that recall the texture of bark, all rendered in a high-polish chromed metal that gives the piece a fluid, almost liquid quality despite its solid, monolithic volume. The coffee table has no visible legs or joinery; the entire form reads as one continuous mass, with the mirrored top surface offering a striking contrast to the more sculptural, tactile treatment of the sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece belongs to a strand of French design from the closing decades of the twentieth century in which furniture makers turned toward organic and naturalistic forms, treating the coffee table less as an assembly of parts than as a single sculptural object. This lineage runs through the work of designers such as Maria Pergay, whose stainless steel pieces repeatedly translated tree trunks, waves, and shells into polished metal, and sculptor Albert Feraud, who brought a related sensibility to welded steel tables in the same period. The choice of chromed metal, polished to a mirror finish on the horizontal surface and left with a worked, faceted texture on the vertical planes, plays on the tension between industrial material and natural silhouette, a pairing that became a recurring motif in decorative sculptural furniture of the period. Its freeform structure and reflective surface make it as much an object of visual interest as a functional table. This coffee table remains a striking example of sculptural furniture design from 1990s France.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modernab ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57563251343733,"sku":null,"price":12500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/5688\/7157\/files\/fv1-6150-1400x.jpg?v=1789046829"}],"url":"https:\/\/modernabgallery.com\/collections\/tables.oembed","provider":"Modernab ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
