Designed for Wittmann, their clean geometric lines give them a timeless character that feels equally at home in a contemporary interior. The four tables nest neatly together and can also be used individually as side tables.* Josef Hoffmann designed these nesting tables around 1900. Wittmann has held the exclusive rights to produce Hoffmann’s original furniture designs from his drawings since 1969. This set was purchased new in 1989 from De Sprong Interieurprojecten in Utrecht, then a respected retailer of high-end design furniture. Dimensions when nested: 50 × 40 × 70 cm / 19.7 × 15.7 × 27.6 in (W×D×H). Individual dimensions, from largest to smallest: 50 × 40 × 70 cm / 19.7 × 15.7 × 27.6 in, 43 × 36.5 × 66.5 cm / 16.9 × 14.4 × 26.2 in, 36.5 × 33 × 63 cm / 14.4 × 13 × 24.8 in, and 29.5 × 29.5 × 59.5 cm / 11.6 × 11.6 × 23.4 in (W×D×H).

Material: solid ash.

Source: original Wittmann brochures *Recreation Josef Hoffmann* and *Tische von Josef Hoffmann* from the Ztijl Design archive. The nesting tables are in very good condition. They have been carefully looked after by their previous owner. Over the years, the ash has developed a warm tone and shows only light signs of use consistent with its age. The construction is entirely original, strong and stable. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
