Yves Klein coffee table

Have you ever “done it” on the coffee table? I mean having lunch of course! What did you think? Well you would be “doing it” on $25,000.

Alright now more seriously, Yves Klein, a French artist, considered an important figure in post-war European art patented his own color International Klein Blue (IKB) blue in 1960. The next year, he designed a low, simple table filled with that blue pigment. Beginning in 1963, Yves Klein's widow, Rotraut Klein-Moquay supervised an edition of the table that came in three options: 'Table Bleue' (filled with Klein International Blue pigment), 'Table Rose' (with rose madder) and 'Table D'Or' (containing 3000 sheets of gold leaf).
