A striking example of British modernist design, this vintage coffee table by Richard Young for Merrow Associates captures the refined balance of materials that defined high-end interiors of the 1960s. Combining rich rosewood, polished chrome and glass, the piece embodies a timeless sophistication that feels just as relevant in contemporary spaces.
The design is centered around its architectural chrome frame, clean-lined and minimal, allowing the warmth and depth of the rosewood supports to take focus. The contrast between the cool metallic structure and the organic grain of the timber creates a beautifully balanced composition, while the floating glass top adds a sense of lightness and openness.
