1970s Hollywood Regency Coffee Table | Anodised Aluminium & Smoked Glass

This 1970s coffee table is a refined example of the Hollywood Regency era, prioritising structural clarity and material contrast. The frame is constructed from anodised aluminium, a finish valued for its durability and subtle, non-ferrous lustre that avoids the harshness of modern chrome. It is paired with the original heavy-gauge smoked glass top, which remains in excellent vintage condition.

The beauty of this piece lies in its airy, open-form geometry and compact footprint. Measuring 520mm x 520mm with a height of 480mm, it provides a significant visual footprint without the visual weight of timber, making it a sophisticated choice for interiors where light and flow are a priority. A well-preserved piece of late 20th-century design that bridges the gap between mid-century modernism and 70s glamour.

The Hollywood Regency movement emerged in the golden age of cinema, designed to look as good on camera as it did in person. By the 1970s, the style evolved to include industrial materials like anodised aluminium. Unlike standard plating, anodising creates a hard, non-tarnishable oxide layer that is integrated with the metal, ensuring the frame retains its soft, metallic glow without the pitting or peeling often found in chrome or brass-plated furniture of the same era.
