This functional piece features a black lacquered wooden construction with two rectangular surfaces, supported by four slender legs resting on small castors. The upper surface has a slightly raised edge, while the lower shelf provides additional storage space. Originally designed as a practical office accessory for a typewriter, the table reflects Wabbes' approach to functional furniture, combining simple geometric lines with carefully considered proportions. Its compact dimensions and mobile construction make it equally suitable as a side table, bedside table or occasional table in a contemporary interior. The table remains in used vintage condition, showing visible signs of age and use. The black lacquered finish displays scratches, paint loss and wear along the edges and corners, revealing the wood underneath. These imperfections contribute to the authentic character of the piece.
