A striking and rare J. Wade Beam for Brueton coffee table featuring a sculptural chrome plinth base and a richly detailed parquetry chessboard top. Designed in the late 1970s to early 1980s, this piece exemplifies Beam’s mastery of clean lines, bold geometry, and material contrast. The square tabletop, finished in a warm lacquered wood with a subtle checkerboard pattern, offers a sophisticated nod to functional art and design. The highly polished chrome base grounds the piece with modernist elegance, creating a floating effect that enhances its presence in any room. Perfect for collectors of American postmodernism or interior designers looking to anchor a space with an iconic and conversation-worthy piece. Product Details: Brand: Brueton Designer: J.
