Its circular top rests upon a slender, tapering stem that flares into a broad, rounded base—an elegant profile that emphasizes both stability and fluidity of form.

Finished in a smooth white lacquer and compact in scale, the piece functions equally well as an occasional table, a pedestal for decorative objects, or a practical side surface.


Context and Legacy
The table recalls the pioneering work of designers like Eero Saarinen, whose pedestal-based furniture sought to “clear the slum of legs” and introduce simplicity and grace into everyday living spaces. Such pieces became emblematic of modernist interiors, striking a balance between utility and sculptural refinement.

Collector’s Note
This side table features clean lines and a bright finish, making it a versatile addition to any living space, blending seamlessly with both vintage and contemporary furnishings. Minor surface wear consistent with age lends character without diminishing its elegant presence. See less
