The softly rounded triangular glass top appears to float effortlessly above the base, its transparency allowing the structural elements beneath to become an integral part of the visual experience.

The base is defined by three elegantly tapered wooden legs, finished in black paint, which lend the piece a sense of height, lightness, and poised stability. These legs are connected by slender brass slats arranged in a geometric configuration, introducing both structural reinforcement and a warm metallic accent. The brass elements create a dynamic interplay of lines, drawing the eye inward and emphasizing the table’s triangular symmetry while adding a subtle sense of depth and sophistication.

Often attributed to Alfred Hendrickx, the table reflects the designer’s affinity for clean lines, innovative construction, and harmonious material combinations. The balance between the dark, matte wood, the luminous brass, and the clear glass surface results in a composition that is both visually light and structurally expressive. Elegant and versatile, this piece functions as both a practical furnishing and a sculptural object, embodying the enduring appeal of mid-century modern design.
