Condition report
This exceptional rectangular coffee table, designed and handcrafted by Dutch artist Paul Kingma in the Netherlands, 1980s, stands as a testament to his innovative approach to materiality and form. Renowned for his architectural tables, Kingma’s creations celebrate the natural world’s richness, inspired by his extensive travels in search of rare materials. He masterfully combined elements such as stone, metal, and concrete with materials like brass, copper, glass, and ceramic, ensuring each table was a unique, one-of-a-kind piece.
Departing from his more typical designs, this particular table features a clean travertine structure adorned with brass tiles set against a sand-colored travertine surface. Its substantial top rests on a cross-shaped travertine base, composed of two interlocking pieces, providing both stability and visual interest. The harmonious blend of natural stone and metal creates a compelling visual presence, enhancing the table’s aesthetic appeal and showcasing Kingma’s talent for integrating diverse materials into cohesive designs.
The table remains in good, original condition, with the travertine’s natural hues contributing to its timeless elegance. Kingma’s dedication to craftsmanship is evident in this piece, reflecting his commitment to creating extraordinary furniture that connects with the beauty of the natural world.
Born in The Hague, Paul Kingma studied art in Arnhem before training at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam and the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Throughout his career, he received numerous commissions for public sculptures in Dutch cities such as Utrecht, Eindhoven, and Amersfoort. His furniture pieces, particularly his coffee tables, are celebrated for their unique compositions and have become highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts alike.
