77 - Fabrice Ausset

Fabrice Ausset Console Table Black-patinated steel and travertine Year created: 2024 H72 L220 P60.8 cm A table that can serve as a console table, with a minimalist and brutalist aesthetic created by the combination of two materials: black-patinated steel for the legs and a travertine top. Designed to function equally well as a console table or a desk, this 2024 piece reduces the furniture to the interplay of two materials: a black-patinated metal base and a travertine tabletop. The contrast between the dark, graphic lines of the metal and the light-colored stone, with its natural honeycomb-like pores, gives the piece a presence that is both minimalist and brutalist. At 2.20 meters long, the console table makes a bold architectural statement. It reflects Fabrice Ausset’s focus on premium materials and designs stripped down to the essentials.
