Description
Yonel Lebovici (1937–1998) Aquarium enthusiast Coffee table Methacrylate, glass Rouve edition Date of creation: 1965 H41 W70 D70 cm An unclassifiable French artist and designer, Yonel Lebovici occupies a unique place in the design landscape of the 1960s–1980s, blending sculpture, technical experimentation and visual humour. This coffee table, the design for which was created in 1965, is a perfect illustration of this: a methacrylate base sculpted as a translucent, dynamic form, topped with a glass top produced by Rouve. Here, Lebovici explores the sculptural possibilities of industrial materials, playing with transparency, refraction and optical illusions. His works, often produced in small editions, are highly sought after for their hybrid nature, straddling the line between functional object and light sculpture. This piece, emblematic of his experimental approach, presents a rare opportunity for collectors of iconoclastic French design and post-war Plexiglas creations.
