This rare ‘Pyramid’ table, designed by Wim Rietveld and produced by Ahrend de Cirkel in the Netherlands in 1960, is a striking example of minimalist and industrial design. with its V-shaped black metal frame and an original textured white Formica top, the table exudes timeless appeal. The slightly textured surface of the Formica adds a refined detail to its functional design, making it both practical and visually appealing. Rietveld’s ‘Pyramid’ table draws inspiration from Jean Prouvé’s Compass table but refines the concept for enhanced functionality. Unlike the Compass table, the Pyramid table was designed with stackability in mind, making it both innovative and practical. It embodies the core principles of industrial design—affordability, usability, and beauty—earning the prestigious Signe d’Or award in 1960, a recognition of its excellence in design and functionality. This table is a rare, small-sized version, with a 70×70 cm top, making it perfect as a compact writing desk or workspace. The frame, slightly wider than the tabletop, allows for easy stacking—a clever feature that speaks to Rietveld’s forward-thinking approach to design. The table is in original condition, showcasing wear consistent with age and use, particularly on the metal frame, where some paint loss adds character and enhances its industrial charm. The Ahrend de Cirkel mark on the frame further confirms its authenticity. This piece is not just a functional table but a collector’s item that celebrates mid-century industrial design. Chairs are not included in this listing but can be purchased separately upon request. Literature: ‘Wim Rietveld, industrieel ontwerper’ Ed van Hinte, 1996 , Publisher ‘010’ Rotterdam , 1996.
