About This Piece

Vintage Design

Paul Kingma’s coffee tables are celebrated for their artistic expression and timeless designs. This round coffee table exemplifies his ability to fuse functionality with artistry, making it not just a piece of furniture but a statement of craftsmanship and creativity.

Design
The table's top is composed of a mosaic of materials, including stone, metal, and concrete. Its earthy tones, with traces of ochre and rust, are subtly broken by small geometric details, such as metallic inserts. The surface, though smooth, retains an organic feel, with sections of varied textures and shapes giving it a rich, tactile quality. The thick circular slab rests on a sleek, two-piece black cylindrical base, that can also be positioned differently. This Kingma coffee table perfectly balances utility with aesthetic appeal. Its presence is understated yet strong, making it a versatile piece that will complement both minimalist and eclectic interiors.

Condition
The condition of this piece is very good with only minor signs of wear such as superficial scratches.

About the Creator

Paul Kingma

Dutch sculptor, mosaic artist, and designer Paul Kingma is best known for his somber yet beautiful ceramic and stone coffee tables.

Born in the Hague in 1931, Kingma studied art in Arnhem before training at the Rijksakademie [State Academy of Fine Arts] in Amsterdam and the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Over the course of his career, he was commissioned to create a number of sculptures for public spaces in Dutch cities such as Utrecht, Eindhoven, and Amersfoort. It was in mosaic art, however, that he established his reputation for collectible design. Deeply committed to his artistic expression, Kingma famously said, “The next table is the most beautiful.” The large number of unique tables he handmade from the late-1960s to mid-1980s is referred to as the Kingma or Tableaux Series. He incorporated unique mosaics and stones into tabletops, later incorporating fossils and petrified wood into his practice. Kingma bought, foraged for, and collected these materials during his travels around the world.

Kingma sought to create tables that were first and foremost “self-contained” design objects. In addition to his furniture design, Kingma also taught sculpture and mosaics at the Institute of Visual Arts in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. Kingma died in 2013 at the age of 81.
