ABOUT PRODUCTID 12253
This coffee table, designed by František Jirák and produced in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s, exemplifies classic mid-century modern aesthetics. The construction is based on a solid wooden frame in a warm, medium honey-brown tone with a semi-matte finish that accentuates the subtle wood grain. The tabletop is made of clear glass with gently rounded edges, complemented by an openwork shelf beneath, formed by evenly spaced wooden slats—both a practical and decorative detail. Meticulous joinery is visible, with no metal hardware, while the splayed, tapered legs give the table a sense of lightness and movement. Dimensions are 90 × 52 × 65 cm. The table remains in original, very good condition, with only minor scratches typical of age and gentle use; all elements appear original and well-preserved. This table tells the story of the optimism and rationality of the 1960s, when Czech design sought harmony between lightness of form and functionality. The angled, slender legs and transparent top evoke the modernist belief in clarity and order, while the slatted shelf seems to invite daily rituals of afternoon coffee. The touch reveals the fine wood texture, and light softly passes through the glass surface, imbuing the piece with the quiet elegance that characterized Czechoslovakia of the era. In the living room, the table could be paired with upholstered armchairs of organic shape or a minimalist sofa in a neutral tone to highlight its mid-century heritage. The glass top will showcase a Murano vase or geometric ceramic arrangement. Textiles in muted colors and modernist-inspired graphics would complement the look, allowing the table to fit seamlessly into both curated collector interiors and contemporary spaces with a retro accent.
