Jean Claude Dresse Coffee Table in White Resin

Jean Claude Dresse, coffee table, resin, inlay, Belgium, 1970s

Wonderful white resin side or coffee table designed by Belgian designer Jean Claude Dresse. This piece is made out of a resin tabletop, resting on lacquered metal feet in the same off-white color. The rectangular shaped tabletop is finished with an organic pattern and inlayed fragments. The lines in resin are hand-drawn by Dresse and etched afterwards. A piece that finds itself between the borders of furniture design and art.
