Its composition of stacked volumes, chamfered planes and stepped details evokes the design language developed in the Netherlands during the 1920s, when furniture extended the formal research of architecture.

Built entirely around the octagon, the table combines a thick polygonal top with a central faceted column and a striking double-stepped base. A subtle geometric frieze runs beneath the apron, further reinforcing its architectural character.

The almost monumental quality of the base contrasts with the table’s compact proportions, giving it a particularly strong sculptural presence.

Solid wood structure with a stained plywood top.

Good vintage condition, with a pronounced old patina, surface scratches, small chips and minor irregularities consistent with age, all visible in the photographs. The structure is sound and sturdy. On a perfectly level floor, the table has a very slight wobble caused by a minimal variation in foot height; this does not affect its solidity or everyday use.
