About This Piece

Vintage Design

Introducing an exceptionally rare and dynamic piece of 20th-century Dutch design history: a Modular Two-Tier Brutalist Coffee Table by renowned sculptor and mosaic artist Paul Kingma (1931–2013). Unlike Kingma's more common monolithic, single-surface designs, this highly architectural model features an innovative, multi-level system that brilliantly plays with depth, scale, and function. The Design & Craftsmanship

Throughout his career, Kingma treated furniture as a playground for sculpture, famously hand-building every single piece so that no two tables are ever alike. The two round, tiered tabletops feature his signature concrete-matrix mosaic, meticulously arranged with natural slate, stone segments, and hand-cut brass geometric inlays.

True to his artistic ethos, Kingma embedded curiosities collected during his lifelong travels into his creations. This particular table showcases a beautiful, historic British coins featuring the profile of King George V and a young profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II within an intricate multi-alloy brass ring. This heavy, organic surface rests securely on solid, textured brutalist concrete pedestal bases. Linked by raw industrial pins and elevated on elegant brass rods.

This piece is a fully documented, authentic work. It features an integrated brass strip inset directly into the mosaic stone surface, beautifully engraved with "Design" alongside Paul Kingma's distinctive handwritten signature, guaranteeing its provenance and investment value.

The table remains in excellent vintage condition, with the stone mosaic perfectly preserved and showcasing an incredible natural patina. Light wear on the concrete edges and minor, age-appropriate oxidation on the brass accents serve to highlight its authentic historical character.

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.
