It features a large rectangular top veneered in fine teak, characterized by a rich, deep natural grain. The supporting structure is composed of linear, geometric metal legs (painted or dark steel) culminating in distinctive end feet made of fine teak that match the table top, a refined and elegant joining solution typical of furniture from the 1960s and 1970s. Minor wear, as shown in the photo, on one side.
