Designed by Heinz Lilienthal in the 1970s, this coffee table stands as an example of German design influenced by brutalist and industrial aesthetics. The square top, crafted from stainless steel in a cool matte grey, features an etched abstract pattern of concentric circles, introducing a subtle play of light and shadow across its surface. The walnut-veneered base, in a warm medium brown with pronounced wood grain and a satin finish, forms a low, broad cuboid with large semi-circular cutouts on each side. The construction is cohesive, with crisp edges and seamless joints, while discreet plastic casters allow effortless movement without disturbing the piece’s balanced proportions. The table is preserved in excellent restored condition—both the steel top and walnut base are authentic and carefully renewed, with no visible signs of damage or repair.This form evokes the voice of German design in the 1970s: assertive in its presence yet restrained in ornamentation.

The interplay of cool metal and warm walnut narrates an era when material contrast was a means of reconciling technology with nature. The table, like a fragment of architectural sculpture, suggests order while inviting individual interpretation.The Lilienthal table could be paired with a minimalist sofa upholstered in wool or leather to emphasize the interplay of materials.
