The archetypal MCM lounge coffee table, this piece has had us scratching our heads a little. With such a distinctive midcentury design, we thought we’d be able to identify the maker but it eludes us. The thick, round glass table top floats on the four teak wooden arms. Underneath there is a shelf for your magazines or art books. The grain patination here creates a radiating sunburst cut with quartered sections of angled stripes. It’s really unusual and very handsome. A statement low table designed to wow in the centre of the room. And of course the clever thing about a glass table top is that it makes a substantial, heavyweight piece appear light, open and transparent.
