Pair of French tables from 1958, designed by Joseph-André Motte and manufactured by Charron

Joseph-André Motte (1925-2013) was a prominent figure in post-war French design, known for his modernist and functionalist approach, which combined elegance with technological innovation. His collaboration with Charron resulted in distinctive furniture pieces that reflected the spirit of renewal and enthusiasm for contemporary design in 1950s France. This pair of rosewood tables with integrated lighting is an excellent example of his work, highlighting the use of noble materials and the integration of features that were avant-garde for the era. The clean lines and luminous functionality make these tables not only practical but also sculptural pieces, ideal for enhancing any modern interior.
