About the Item

Stanley Jay Friedman for Brueton: The "Eclipse" Low Table, American, Late Modern, Circa 1970-1980 This "Eclipse" low table is a powerful and sophisticated statement of late 20th-century American modernism. Designed by the visionary Stanley Jay Friedman for the premier manufacturer Brueton, the table is a masterful study in sculptural form, material contrast, and minimalist glamour. It is a quintessential example of the bold, architectural furniture that defined high-end American interiors of the era. Description and Design The "Eclipse" table achieves a remarkable sense of visual lightness despite its substantial materials. The design is defined by its base: a continuous band of highly polished, mirror-finish stainless steel that curves elegantly to create a dramatic, open oval—a stunning example of negative space. Resting atop this sculptural base is a thick, removable slab of polished Black Pearl granite. The deep, dark stone provides a dramatic contrast to the brilliant, reflective steel. The table’s name, "Eclipse," perfectly evokes the interplay between these two elements, suggesting the dark granite disc partially obscuring the bright void created by the steel. Historical Background Context 🧐 The Designer - Stanley Jay Friedman: A key figure in the evolution of American modernism, Stanley Jay Friedman is celebrated for his clean, sculptural, and barrier-breaking designs. His work in the 1970s and 80s moved beyond the strictures of mid-century functionalism, embracing a new sense of drama, monumentality, and material luxury. The Manufacturer - Brueton: Brueton Industries was a leading American furniture manufacturer renowned for its impeccable craftsmanship and mastery of stainless steel. The company's collaborations with forward-thinking designers like Friedman resulted in some of the most iconic and high-quality architectural furniture of the period. The Era - Late Modern Glamour: The "Eclipse" table is a product of an era that celebrated bold forms and glamorous materials. Reacting against the organic woods of the previous decades, designers of the 1970s and 80s embraced polished steel, chrome, glass, and stone. This table, with its high-shine finish and monumental presence, would have been perfectly at home in a sophisticated, avant-garde interior, embodying the confident and luxurious spirit of the time. Details and Condition Materials: Polished stainless steel, polished Black Pearl granite. Condition: Excellent. A tiny frit to one edge of the granite top has been invisibly and professionally repaired. Dimensions: 24 inches wide x 14 inches high x 12 inches deep. (Ref: NY10113B-prrx)
