California Craftsman Organic Freeform Cocktail Table by Craig Lauterbach, 1960s
Presenting a mesmerizing free-form coffee table crafted by California artisan Craig Lauterbach, circa 1960s.
This unique piece embodies the American Studio Craft movement, showcasing Lauterbach's signature style of organic, curvaceous forms that seamlessly blend function with decorative allure. Hand-carved from solid walnut and stack-laminated into a seductive shape, this table is a testament to Lauterbach's craftsmanship and technical skill.
The whimsical design features an intricate network of circular openings, highlighting its artistic complexity and visual appeal. Topped with inset glass, the table enhances its organic charm while maintaining an all-wood construction.
A similar but smaller unrestored example sold at LAMA in 2007 for $11,700.
This California Craftsman freeform cocktail table by Craig Lauterbach would work great in a California Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Space Age Mod, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Post-Modern, Contemporary or Zen / Minimalism room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Hollywood Regency, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.
