About the Item

This striking example of 1970s modern design emerges from the Australian studio of Fred Lowen in his Tessa era, when he expanded on his earlier successes at Fler to explore refined minimalism and high-quality materials. The piece is distinguished by its bold yet elegant geometry: a heft of warm teak rising to support a flat, smoked glass top, creating both visual gravitas and airy clarity. The smoked glass surface is carefully chosen to be both moody and transparent—dark enough to contrast with the teak base while allowing glimpses of structure beneath. The glass features softly rounded edges, a detail that softens the overall silhouette and underscores the care in its production. The teak frame is carved with subtle precision: edges are clean but not sharp, surfaces polished to a silky sheen that brings out the grain’s natural variation. Proportions are meticulously balanced. From any angle, the piece reads as a low architectural object: horizontal strength in the glass plane, vertical elegance in the wood supports. The visual weight is distributed so that the table seems to hover — solid and grounded, yet dematerialized by the interplay with glass. Dimensions: Height: 19.3 in (49 cm) Width: 31.5 in (80 cm) Depth: 31.5 in (80 cm) Condition is excellent for its age. The teak base retains its rich finish with only minor wear consistent with careful use, while the smoked glass top may show light surface scratches expected from age but remains in fine overall presentation. These subtle traces of history add to the authenticity of the piece without detracting from its elegance. For collectors of mid-century modern, Australiana design, and refined minimalism, this table offers more than utility: it is an object of conviction. In its simplicity, every choice — from material pairings to silhouette to finish — becomes meaningful. It commands space in both living rooms and gallery contexts, offering a bridge between sculpture and service.
