Paul Evans Rare Cityscape Multi-faceted rectangular low table
Paul Evans Rare Cityscape Multi-faceted rectangular low table. This exceptional coffee table, featuring burl and polished steel finish, is attributed to the celebrated American designer Paul Evans. The piece showcases a masterful blend of organic and industrial aesthetics, a hallmark of Evans’s approach to furniture design. The tabletop’s richly patterned burl wood veneer offers an alluring, swirling grain that captures the eye, making each angle reveal a new aspect of its complex beauty. This naturalistic element is boldly contrasted with the clean, reflective lines of polished steel, a material that Evans often employed to striking effect.
Evans’s furniture pieces are not just functional items; they are expressive sculptures that inhabit space with presence and personality. The craftsmanship evident in the seamless integration of materials speaks to the designer’s reputation for meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of furniture design. The table’s form, with its geometric playfulness, is hallmark of Evans’s iconic Cityscape and Sculpted Bronze collections, which were characterized by their architectural and abstract qualities.
This coffee table, while unmarked, conveys the artistic spirit and the innovative fusion of textures and tones that are synonymous with Paul Evans’s body of work. It stands as a testament to the mid-20th century’s adventurous design ethos and Evans’s own avant-garde sensibility.
