In my seemingly never-ending quest to replace our knackered chest / coffee table for a real piece of furniture, I think I found pretty much the most original and dramatic piece, not to mention comparably reasonable price tag. Famous for her ‘playful search for beauty” and world renowned ceramics, it was only until her early 80s that she started designing tables! I can only hope to have such a remarkable life. Next on the list: acquire a pad worthy of this piece!
