A coffee table by Henri Fernandez, France, circa 1970
A striking coffee table designed and manufactured by Henri Fernandez in the 1970s, made largely from brass and two resin elephant tusks.
Certain to imbue your contemporary space with a touch of extravagance, this coffee table feels decidedly of the Hollywood Regency ilk, which championed opulence, luxury, colour contrasts, and game-changing modernity.
Henri Fernandez left a legacy on design which are now turning back into trends. In the 1970’s Henri was already designing art furniture which drew inspiration from the natural world. Henri contributed for the collections of many artists back then such as Jacques Duval-Brasseur and Maison Honoré, using noble materials like brass, Agathe stones, and other semi-precious stones. All the pieces he designed to make a statement and can be defined as art. He defies the boundaries between art and design. It is clear to see the collaboration between the two artists and this console table exemplifies Henri’s work.
