Coffee table "Boomerang". France, 1950s.

This table is called "boomerang" because of its asymmetrical and curvilinear silhouette that evokes the shape of the Australian artifact, an emblematic design of the Mid-Century Modern style that breaks with traditional geometric rigidity. Its biomorphic profile, inspired by the organic forms of nature, not only brings an avant-garde, streamlined aesthetic to the room, but also enhances functionality by facilitating fluid circulation and a more social arrangement among users. In this particular model, the use of tapered legs that accentuate the visual lightness of the piece stands out, making the wood top with marked grain appear to float elegantly in space.
