This piece is in the tradition of Filipino designer Antonio "Budji" Layug, whose bundled bamboo pedestal tables from the 1970s–80s helped bring Philippine organic modern design to American markets (Layug notably designed bamboo furniture for Bloomingdale's in the 1970s). This table shares the same construction language — thick, mature bamboo stalks in a hand-built cluster base — though it carries no maker's mark, so it is offered as attributed to/in the style of Layug rather than a documented original.

Details:
• Constructed from 28 solid bamboo poles with a natural finish
• Visible bamboo nodes and grain throughout
• 48” round glass top with a 1” beveled edge
• Glass rests freely on the base and can be replaced with a larger top if desired
• Seats 4–6 comfortably
• Dimensions: 48”W x 48”D x 29.75”H

Construction:
• Heavy, substantial bamboo pedestal with quality vintage construction
• Hand-built bundled bamboo base showcasing mature bamboo and solid craftsmanship

Condition:
• Bamboo shows natural age-related checking/splitting in some poles- typical and expected for vintage bamboo of this scale
• Glass top is in great vintage condition with no chips or cracks
• Structurally sound, sturdy, cleaned, and ready for daily use
