About the Item

Jean Claude Dresse, coffee table, brass, lacquered steel and wood, agate, Belgium, 1970s A luxurious square cocktail table, crafted with high attention for detail which is characteristic for the work of the Belgian artist Jean Claude Dresse. The deep brown square tabletop features a dynamic interplay of flowing lines, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. The agate stone fits perfectly within the irregular, organically shaped recess, serving as a focal point amidst a framework of undulating waves. The base is sturdy and concise, yet its unassuming presence subtly shift the viewer’s attention to the decorative top. 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. Jean Claude Dresse (1946-) is a Belgian artist and designer. He graduated from the art academy in Charleroi. His background of being a visual artist is clearly visible in his furniture designs as he uses artistic techniques such as mosaic and etchings. His oeuvre embodies designs made of precious metals such as brass and copper. Together with his father Marcel, he was a prominent figure in the furniture business in the 1980s and belonged to the artistic Walloon School that focused on glamorous aesthetics. After he and his father were successful as designers Jean Claude embarked on a career as a visual artist. Dresse designed many furniture pieces on commission, which means that a large part of these items is custom-made.
