FUTURA x Martha Cooper Case Study® Furniture Small Fiberglass Coffee Table Edition of 50

The Case Study® Small Furniture Fiberglass Coffee Table is notable for its refinement achieved using simple, practical, understated materials. These lightweight occasional tables are perfect solutions for flexible use spaces.

Modernica constructs each tabletop with eleven layers of laminated hardwoods and bevels the exposed wood edge. Each leg is removable and can knock down for easy shipping. This exclusive product features the iconic "Break Train" image embedded inside of the top fiberglass layer finished with a number edition plaque. 

FUTURA’s historic “Break” painting, a transcendent whole car piece executed in 1980, was captured in beautiful still image by Martha Cooper the day of its creation. “Break" signaled a seismic shift in graffiti from the then-letterform-heavy wildstyle aesthetic—into the realm of abstraction. The illustrated crack in “Break” functions as both a literal and figurative side space for FUTURA’s signature; in “Break”, unlike the genre at large in 1980, the emphasis and weight in the foreground is abstraction, color gradation, and dimension—whereas the background, in an almost tertiary realm, is FUTURA’s signature. Like Martha Cooper’s immediately identifiable photographic style, “Break” too signals a gesture from FUTURA to create a signature style—and not just a styled signature.
