Vintage Tessellated Bone Console Table by Enrique Garcel for Jimeco LTDA

Details

This exceptional console table, designed by Enrique Garcel for Jimeco LTDA in the 1970s, exemplifies the designer’s pioneering use of exotic natural materials and sculptural form. Garcel, a leading figure in Colombian furniture design, was among the first to explore the artistic potential of bone, horn, and mother-of-pearl in modern furniture, elevating these materials from craftwork to high design. Meticulously handcrafted, the table is entirely clad in tessellated bone tiles—each individually cut and polished—creating a luminous mosaic surface with organic tonal variations that subtly shift under the light. The design strikes a perfect balance between architectural strength and refined elegance: the base features fluted, column-like panels that rise to support a boldly cantilevered top with rounded ends, giving the piece both visual weight and sculptural fluidity. Garcel’s work for Jimeco LTDA during this period was celebrated for its synthesis of modernist geometry and artisanal luxury. This table captures that ethos—bridging the organic warmth of natural bone with the clean, disciplined lines of late 20th-century design. A striking statement piece, it reflects the sophistication and craftsmanship that made Garcel’s work sought after by collectors and interior designers worldwide.
