Yves Klein's Table Blue Klein is an iconic piece of furniture art that exemplifies his innovative approach to merging art with everyday objects. Created in 1961, this table features Klein's signature International Klein Blue (IKB), a vivid ultramarine hue that he patented and used extensively in his works. The table's design is minimalist and elegant, with a glass top that allows viewers to appreciate the vibrant blue pigment encased within the table's structure.


The Table Blue Klein is more than just a functional piece of furniture; it is a manifestation of Klein's artistic philosophy and his desire to bring art into everyday life. By incorporating his distinctive blue pigment into the table, Klein sought to create an object that transcends its utilitarian purpose and becomes a piece of art in its own right. The glass top serves to both protect and display the IKB pigment, creating a sense of depth and luminosity that draws the viewer's attention and invites contemplation.


Klein's use of International Klein Blue in Table Blue Klein reflects his belief in the spiritual and immaterial qualities of color. He saw IKB as a means to evoke a sense of the infinite and the sublime, aiming to provide an experience that goes beyond the physicality of the object. The deep, intense blue of the table creates a striking visual impact, transforming the space it occupies and engaging the viewer on a sensory and emotional level.


Table Blue Klein remains a testament to Yves Klein's boundary-pushing vision and his ability to infuse everyday objects with profound artistic significance. The piece continues to be celebrated for its bold use of color and its seamless integration of art and design. Today, it stands as an enduring symbol of Klein's innovative spirit and his quest to redefine the relationship between art, space, and the viewer's experience.
