Abstraction Coffee table

Michelle Bargoin & Jacques Serre

Abstraction Coffee table

Coffee table with a black lacquered metal frame featuring cylindrical legs and an apron. The top is composed of eighteen glazed ceramic tiles forming the abstract composition Abstraction. Signed “2 POTIERS” on a corner tile. Created during the most celebrated period of Les 2 Potiers, this coffee table exemplifies the duo's distinctive approach to integrating ceramic art into functional furniture. Combining a geometric metal structure with a vibrant glazed ceramic composition, the work reflects the artistic dialogue between abstraction and craftsmanship that defined their production throughout the 1960s.
