Jean Claude Dresse Coffee Table in Resin with Bone Inlay

Jean Claude Dresse, coffee table, resin, bone inlay, lacquered steel, Belgium, circa 1973

A luxurious coffee table crafted with high attention for detail which is characteristic for the work of the Belgian artist Jean Claude Dresse. The table has a sculptural appearance achieved by the geometric shaped base consisting of clustered rectangular legs positioned on the outer sides. The tabletop is finished with an organic pattern and inlayed fragments of bone. Furthermore, the top displays a dynamic play of flowing lines. Due to the artistic use of materials and texture combinations, this table has a strong decorative character and sits right on the border between piece of art and furniture design.

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.
