Description
A custom artisan crafted, celebrity owned, Post-Modernist industrial square coffee table from the second half of the 20th century.
Timeless Milo Baughman style, featuring a solid walnut inlaid end grain wood mosiac tabletop, rising over a chrome metal X frame base. The striking almost sculptural butcher block style center most likely made from either reclaimed wood from decaying bridges, old barns, demolished structures, or harvested from fallen, well preserved trees. The walnut border and contrasting chromed elements emphasize the unrivaled beauty and warmth of the natural wood grain and make this table refined but unpretentious, unique and unforgettable.
