Cork Console Table, Italy ca 1960s - 1970s (sold)
Unlike many of the cork tables of the mid-century and the following decades that are often stumpy, this table stands tall and slim. The unique cork pattern gives the console a beautiful appearance, while the soft edges form a great unity with the slimness of the legs and the table top. The cork material adds even more flair to the design of this table.
The console table is also known as an occasional or sofa table, for a good reason. As this table illustrates, a console table can be multifunctional, a stylish addition to any room. A console table not only adds function, giving additional storage, but it also adds real style to an otherwise unoccupied space.
The 1960s and 1970s saw Italian interior design reach its pinnacle of stylishness, and by that point, with Pop and post-modern interiors, the phrases "Bel Design" and "Linea Italiana" entered the vocabulary of furniture design. The style of the 1960s and the 1970s continuously reappear in the “style world”, therefore the furniture of the era are especially subject to revisitation and admiration. Today, most console tables are made of wood, making this piece even more special.
