This playful yet refined Jane and Gordon Martz table showcases the couple’s unmistakable blend of handcrafted ceramic artistry and warm Mid-Century Modern woodworking. The tabletop features a stunning field of white and grey circular tiles, arranged in a rhythmic mosaic that feels both organic and geometric—an iconic Martz motif that reads like a constellation of hand-thrown clay.
Surrounding the tilework is a beautifully crafted walnut frame, its warm tone offering a striking contrast to the cool ceramic palette. The solid walnut legs echo the simplicity and honesty of American Studio Craft design, giving the table a grounded, architectural presence. The combination of materials—earthy tile, rich walnut, and meticulous craftsmanship—creates a piece that feels at once artistic and highly functional.
Perfect as a coffee table, accent table, or sculptural focal point, this Martz piece brings texture, personality, and handmade charm into any interior. A wonderful example of the couple’s collaborative work for Marshall Studios, and an enduring testament to mid-century ceramic design.
