Executed in patinated iron to simulate natural strapwork, each table features an elegant curule-form base with X-shaped stretchers bound by leather-wrapped detailing at the joints—an iconic motif associated with Adnet’s collaboration with Hermès during the 1940s and 1950s.

The curvilinear form is further emphasized by the sinuous bent “bamboo” legs, terminating in upturned scroll feet. A square beveled glass top rests atop each base, offering a crisp contrast to the sculptural warmth of the metalwork below. The restrained material palette—saddle-stitched leather, iron, and glass—exemplifies the artisanal luxury and modern rigor of Adnet’s design vocabulary.

Although unsigned, the construction and detailing closely follow documented models by Adnet for Hermès, echoing the Maison’s blend of equestrian heritage and avant-garde modernism.
