About the Item

The Paul Evans slate patchwork coffee table is a notable piece from the mid-century modern era, created by the American designer and sculptor Paul Evans. This table is characterized by its unique patchwork design, incorporating various metals such as copper, bronze, pewter, and enameled steel, combined with a slate top. These materials are crafted into a distinctive patchwork pattern, a hallmark of Evans' innovative approach to furniture design. Evans' patchwork tables were often produced in collaboration with the furniture manufacturer Directional in the 1970s. The design features hammered and welded metal pieces assembled into a quilt-like pattern, showcasing both brutalist and modernist influences. The coffee table typically displays wear consistent with age, such as minor scratches, scuffing, and patina​ These tables are highly sought after by collectors for their artistic value and unique aesthetic, embodying a mix of industrial and artisanal craftsmanship that made Evans a standout figure in the American Studio Furniture movement.

Constructing immersive installations, he engages with and re-imagines canonical imagery through contemporary technology. Landscape painting, classical sculpture and iconography are some of the historical aesthetics that serve as a point of departure for Quayola’s hybrid compositions. His varied practice, all deriving from custom computer software, also includes audiovisual performance, immersive video installations, sculpture, and works on paper. His work has been performed and exhibited in many prestigious institutions worldwide including V&A Museum, London; Park Avenue Armory, New York; National Art Center, Tokyo; UCCA, Beijing; How Art Museum, Shanghai; SeMA, Seoul; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Ars Electronica, Linz; Sonar Festival, Barcelona and Sundance Film Festival. Also a frequent collaborator on musical projects, Quayola has worked with composers, orchestras and musicians including London Contemporary Orchestra, National Orchestra of Bordeaux, Ensemble Intercontemporain, Vanessa Wagner, Jamie XX...
