Tearsheet
Jean Claude Dresse, coffee table, resin, hematite, lacquered steel, Belgium, 1970s

Jean Claude Dresse’s work is typically characterized by brass and resin; his use of hematite is uncommon, making this coffee table exceptionally rare. It is a feast for the eyes, featuring a round top in dark brown resin inlayed with strikingly metallic hematite, a semi-precious gemstone that Dresse transformed into a mesmerizing mosaic.The table’s sturdy black legs provide essential support, yet their unassuming presence subtly shift the viewer’s attention to the decorative top. This juxtaposition underscores a hallmark of Dresse’s tables: while the top embraces uniqueness and individuality, the legs maintain a consistent design. The base is composed of structural units, each comprising three legs set in a triangular configuration. All in, this piece epitomizes Dresse's approach to furniture-making – a master craftsman infusing his creations with an aura of exclusivity and exceptional artisanship.

The table is signed with “Dresse” along the edge of the top.
