Set of Brutalist Nesting Tables, The Netherlands 1970s (sold)


















Set of Brutalist Nesting Tables, The Netherlands 1970s (sold)
Created with versatility in mind, nesting tables can be organised in an number of stylish and functional ways. Their progressively smaller heights and frames allow them to be stacked or separated, embodying adaptability at its finest. Models of the Brutalist era – as these tables showcase – combined functionality with the unmistakeable touch of 20th century design.
The triangular shape of the tabletops immediately stands out. The silhouette resembles a guitar pick, which was a look that designers, like Poul Thorsbjerg Jensen, often favoured. These pieces are graduated in size so that they can be perfectly arranged on top of one another. The solid wood is hard and rich in colour with a fine texture, which is partially why it has been the most prized material of European 20th century design. The different sizes serve both functional and visual goals; they can conveniently be used together to form a coffee table, or they can be individually placed around a room to form a cohesive interior style. Additionally, the set follows the revered rule of three – a feng shui principle that encourages 'groups of three' to open and relax a space. The versatility and functionality of this set highlights the expert craftsmanship of the maker.
The practicality of nesting tables makes them incredibly useful and functional. They are a perfect choice for small spaces as they are a perfect way to maintain a clean and open interior design without giving up comfort. Whether together or placed next to each other, this set is sure to bring style and quality to any space.
