A rare and highly sculptural Space Age meets Brutalist coffee table attributed to François Monnet for Kappa France, dating from the early 1970s.
This striking piece features a solid chromed steel base composed of three flat interlocking legs joined by a circular ring structure — a hallmark of Monnet’s architectural design language.
The smoked glass top enhances the table’s minimalist geometry while adding a subtle play of light and reflection. The combination of industrial materials and refined proportions creates a perfect balance between strength and elegance.
This table perfectly embodies the transition from the futuristic optimism of the Space Age era to the bold, raw aesthetic of Brutalism, making it a true collector’s item for lovers of high-end French modernism.
Ideal for pairing with mid-century icons by Maria Pergay, Maison Jansen, or Peter Ghyczy, this piece adds sculptural sophistication to any contemporary interior.
