Sofa table/ coffee table. 120 x 80 x 55.3cm high. Lacquered and stained oak and plywood.

A very modestly designed constructivist table whose size measures somewhere between a dining table and a coffee table. It is particularly useful as a table at the back of a sofa as shown. The design of the table is reminiscent of the earlier modernist designs by Gerrit Rietveld/ Vilmos Huszár and the De Stijl movement. (We have images available of its ingenious construction).

This unassuming, simple table was designed by Dutch furniture maker / architect Harry Vogelaars. It is signed and dated 1998.

Note: Cassina ‘Fiandra’ leather four part sofa by Vico Magistretti also available.

Price: 900 euro

1960s Dutch salon table

Designer/Maker unknown. Circa 1960s.

A beautifully proportioned and simply constructed limed oak wood low/salon table. It has a series of small plywood inserts visible on the shorter sides and visible box joints where the legs attach to the table top. The surface has been lime waxed.

Although it cannot be verified we believe that the table may be a design by Hein Stolle for ‘t Spectrum furniture.

Price: 1,900 euro

Paul Wintermans bracket table with floating glass

Paul Wintermans (Nl. late c20th)

‘Beugeltafel’ /Bracket table 1980s.

170 x 55 x 42cm high

The architect Paul Wintermans has been designing furniture primarily for architectural projects since the 1980s. This furniture was produced as unique pieces or as very limited productions. Wintermans furniture designs can be found in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

This table is an ingenious engineered design, constructed from three separate pieces: A sheet of glass sandblasted except for two clear stripes that act both as a design feature and help position the two steel rod feet with adjustable fixings. The two feet simply lean into the structure which when combined with the weight of the glass enables the structure to clamp into place.

Price: 1,700.00 euro
