The irregular edges preserve the character of the casting process, lending the glass an organic quality that contrasts with the precision of the bronze frame beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast in bronze with a warm, time-softened patina, the base is defined by slender tapered legs connected by sweeping arched stretchers. The curves introduce a sense of movement, while finely considered joinery reinforces the table's presence. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transparency of the glass gives the table an unexpected lightness, allowing it to anchor a room without overwhelming it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKlute’s work reflects a deeply rooted understanding of material and form. Trained as a blacksmith in Mailar and later studying sculpture in Aachen, he brought a sculptor’s sensibility to functional objects. In the 1970s, he produced public sculptures in Berlin, and together with his wife, interior designer Gisela Klute, created furniture that balanced imagination with refinement. Today, his legacy is preserved in part through a dedicated sculpture park at Galerie Klute in Waldemai.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52659009847607,"sku":null,"price":7200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/gnpo3wmIMFHVEb_jAd4Sa0pultsmWOWIBOMJ8LdJ0lE.jpg?v=1784316105","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/vintage-german-hand-cast-glass-bronze-square-coffee-table-by-lothar-klute","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
