Illuminated Brass Cicada Coffee Table by Henri Fernandez

This striking coffee table by Henri Fernandez (b. 1946), crafted in the style of Jacques Duval-Brasseur, is a stunning fusion of organic and sculptural artistry. The table’s welded brass base is designed with bamboo-like branches, creating a sense of natural rhythm and texture. At the heart of this intricate structure, a meticulously crafted brass cicada clings to the form, symbolizing transformation and vitality. The cicada is further enhanced by a luminous faceted hard-stone (rock crystal), which adds a sparkling, gemstone quality. A concealed light source illuminates the structure, casting a warm glow over the brass and highlighting the intricacy of the cicada and the surrounding details. The glass tabletop allows a full view of the base, offering a showcase for Fernandez's craftsmanship and imaginative design. Signed by the artist, this exceptional piece embodies the elegance, whimsy, and innovation of mid-century modern design, making it a standout addition for collectors and connoisseurs of nature-inspired luxury decor.
