Finished in an original faux-stone / plaster Carrara-style surface, these tables embody the architectural, gallery-inspired furniture of the postmodern era.

The pieces are constructed with a wood core and hand-applied faux-stone finish—an intentional and period-correct technique widely used in late 1980s–early 1990s European and American postmodern furniture to achieve the visual weight of stone without excessive mass.
The softly curved waterfall edges and substantial proportions give these tables a bold yet restrained presence, making them ideal as nightstands, end tables, or sculptural accent pieces in contemporary, minimalist, or design-forward interiors.

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Minor chips and surface wear are present along edges, consistent with age and the original plaster finish. These imperfections contribute to the authentic vintage character and patina.

Dimensions (each):
Approx. 23.5” W x 20.5” D x 20.5” H
Era: Late 1980s
Style: Postmodern / Architectural Minimalism
Material: Wood core with original faux-stone / plaster finish
Sold as a pair.
