Crafted from solid oak with a light cerused finish, the wood has been professionally bleached to soften the natural honey tones into a fresh, airy palette.

The stepped-edge design and clean, architectural lines reflect Frankl’s roots in the Art Deco era, with strong geometric forms and refined craftsmanship that anticipate his later modernist work. The brand-new 34” diameter glass top sits perfectly in the upper tier of the stepped frame, with a practical ¼” clearance for easy removal and cleaning.

This table is a collector’s dream—a true design classic that honors its Art Deco heritage while delivering the timeless elegance of mid-century design.
