Description
Paul Evans MCM Brutalist Bronze Stalagmite Coffee / Cocktail Table, Signed & Dated: A striking example of American Brutalist design, this sculptural round coffee table by Paul Evans ( American, 1937 - 1987) exemplifies the artist’s innovative fusion of furniture and fine art. Crafted in 1969, the piece features a cast bronze patinated base in the rare and coveted “Stalagmite” form—its jagged, organic silhouette evoking the raw beauty of geological formations.
Evans' mastery of materials is evident in the richly textured surface, which is both architectural and elemental. The base is signed "PE 69", confirming its authenticity and placement within the most significant period of Evans’ creative output. Topping the piece is its original round glass top, notable for its subtle green edge, offering a clean contrast to the rugged base and completing the composition with elegance.
