This iconic form, originally conceived in the early 1970s, reflects Dickinson's fascination with primitive archetypes and hand-modeled surtaces, resulting in a timeless blend of modernism and organic expression.

Each table features a round top supported by three elongated, tapering legs terminating in stylized hoof or paw feet—one of Dickinson's most recognizable and celebrated motifs. The surfaces retain a hand-worked, sculptural quality with subtle variations that enhance their artisanal character.

Executed in a white plaster-like composite over internal structure, these examples were produced under license by Sutherland and faithfully capture the spirit of Dickinson's original studio works.

Offered here as a matching set of three, they present an exceptional opportunity to create a dynamic clustered arrangement, equally suited for use as side tables or a low cocktail grouping.

A versatile and visually compelling addition to interiors ranging from minimalist to maximalist, these tables function as both furniture and sculptural objects.
