Description
A striking Mid-Century Modern tessellated bone coffee or end table crafted in the style of Enrique Garcel, celebrated for his luxurious organic materials and sculptural forms. The table features an elegant oval silhouette clad entirely in hand-cut tessellated bone tiles, meticulously arranged to create a subtle mosaic pattern with beautiful tonal variations. The clever expanding design allows the table to open into a two-tiered configuration, revealing a secondary surface beneath the top—adding both functionality and visual interest. A thin inlaid border accentuates the perimeter of each tier, enhancing the refined geometric composition. Tessellated bone furniture became popular in the 1970s and 1980s, particularly through Garcel’s designs produced in Colombia, where artisans assembled natural bone fragments into seamless decorative surfaces that evoke both modernist minimalism and organic texture. With its clean lines, sculptural presence, and warm neutral palette, this piece works beautifully as a coffee table, cocktail table, or oversized end table, complementing interiors ranging from modern and Hollywood Regency to contemporary organic design.
