Comprising three sizes—large, medium, and small—this set impresses with its clean lines and the particularly successful combination of warm teak and black metal.

The elegantly proportioned tabletops rest on a slender, graphic metal frame, giving the set a light presence while maintaining a perfectly functional construction. This aesthetic is emblematic of 1950s Dutch modernist design, characteristic of Cees Braakman's work for Pastoe.

Used together or separately, these three tables form a particularly versatile set, equally elegant as coffee tables or side tables.

A beautiful piece of Dutch Mid-Century Modern, sought after for the quality of its design, its materials, and its elegant simplicity.
