Product Details

Product Description

Paul Evans was a renowned name in the American studio Craft movement of the 1960s-70s, known for his brutalist approach. He collaborated with Phillip Lloyd Powell and shared a showroom until 1964 when he met the owner of Directional Furniture. Evans created a line of six coffee tables for the Directional High Point booth, but they never made it to the showroom floor. The tables ended up being displayed in New York City, and they became popular to the point of going viral. This led to Evans creating over 800 designs with Directional, including the Sculptured Metal Collection that debuted in 1968. This dining table is a spectacular piece, signed PE '70 at the bottom. It's essential to note that Directional Furniture showrooms were for trade only, so each piece was custom, handcrafted to order, and never alike. Evans employed almost 90 people, working two shifts to craft his designs. This explains why not all pieces were hand-signed and why early, signed ones like this are more desirable to collectors. The table has a wonderful patina and would pair well with Gio Ponti or Edward Wormley for Dunbar chairs. For a full Brutalist effect, one could look for matching Paul Evans chairs. It would fit perfectly in any Mid-Century Modern, modern, or Brutalist environment and complement postmodern furniture. The painting in the staged photo is 60" x 48" for scale. Overall, it's a fantastic piece.
