About the Work

The « Nuage » coffee table by Guy de Rougemont is one of the most emblematic pieces of 1970s design, a testament to the excellence and artistic vision of its creator. Designed in 1970 for the interior designer Henri Samuel, with whom Rougemont regularly collaborated, this table embodies a perfect fusion of functionality and aestheticism. Its minimalist design and innovative use of Plexiglas and metal make it a work of art in its own right, distinguished by its visual lightness and modern elegance.
