The artwork, entitled “MR COFFEE TABLE,” was crafted by the esteemed artist Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1927. This piece belongs to the Constructivism art movement and falls under the genre of design and furniture. The simplicity and functionality of the design reflect the core tenets of the Constructivism movement, emphasizing geometric form and the use of industrial materials.
The artwork features a sleek, circular glass top that is supported by an elegantly minimalistic frame made of tubular metal. The structural design speaks to the artist’s commitment to combining form and function, encapsulating the modernist philosophy of “less is more.” The table’s legs intersect and connect at precise angles, creating a stable yet airy appearance. The transparent surface and reflective metallic frame together create a harmonious balance between visual lightness and structural integrity, embodying both aesthetic appeal and practical utility.
