Marie-Claude De Fouquières coffee table fractal resin 1970

This round coffee table, designed by marie-claude de fouquières in the 1970s, is a remarkable piece. Its top is made from green fractal resin with golden reflections, evoking the cosmos. Fractal resin is the product of a complex chemical process, resulting from high temperature baking followed by multiple polishing phases. Its appearance is often described as quasi-magical, with its sparkles, fragmented patterns and unique features, such as bubbles or crystals. Each fractal resin piece is unique, making this coffee table a unique piece. It is supported by 6 brushed steel legs, adding to its characteristic 1970s charm. This emblematic work of its era is a true centerpiece that will captivate attention. Marie-claude de fouquières (1937) is a french furniture designer who created nearly 1, 800 pieces in fractal resin between 1969 and 1977. Her "exploded" style, the result of a chemical reaction in the resin, earned her recognition worldwide, attracting renowned clients such as david de rothschild and the emir of qatar, as well as famous decorators such as david hicks and henri samuel. Like maria pergay with stainless steel, de fouquières was a precursor of her time, working with an emblematic material of the 70s.
