A drafting table or architect's table is, in its antique form, a kind of multipurpose desk which can be used for any kind of drawing, writing or impromptu sketching or for drafting technical illustrations. Many designs from the mid-century period adopted an almost structural logic, reflecting a broader interest in honest materials and visible craftsmanship, where the making of the object was never concealed but instead highlighted as an integral part of the design.

This worktop desk was made in France around the 1960s. It embodies rustic modernism and brutalist aesthetics through the robust yet carefully considered construction. The solid oak top is thick and slightly contoured, with softened edges that introduce a subtle organic quality to an otherwise rectilinear form, and an ergonomic cutout. Beneath, the base is composed of vertical supports connected by horizontal stretchers, creating a grounded structure. The architectural portico base is connected by solid crossbeams, where the joinery is clearly expressed, each connection contributing to both the strength and the visual identity of the piece. This detail is a testament to the high level of craftsmanship and brutalist influences. At the same time, the open space between these elements ensures that the design does not feel heavy, despite the mass of the material. The natural grain of the oak remains visible across all surfaces, adding depth to the otherwise restrained composition.

This desk maintains a strong presence rooted in its quality, but most of all, it represents a deeply functional piece of furniture. It balance of weight and refinement makes it perfect to serve a practical but elegant workspace.

Condition:

In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The desk has recently been reconditioned and showcases a beautiful grain pattern. Due to the nature and age of the wood, the item has minor marks and scratches, and may show slight discolouration.

In Finland, the second half of the 20th century saw the use of new materials like plastic, synthetics, and fibreglass being combined with advances in manufacturing technologies, allowing designers in Finland to expand their range of colours and forms in mass production. However, this coffee table model still gives preference to natural materials, primarily to its wooden frame.

Utilising and highlighting the qualities of the materials used, combined with the expertise of Esko Pajamies, this coffee table is a beautiful piece that can both define and complement a modern space. The coffee table's round glass top showcases an appealing look. The dark colour of the solid wood that forms the structure of the table contrasts beautifully with the top, as its robustness grounds the design. The combination of materials make this table a stylish example of the period’s design versatility. Coffee tables, in general, serve as design staples in living spaces for a multitude of reasons: beyond their utilitarian function of providing a surface for drinks and books, they anchor a room, creating a focal point around which furniture and conversation revolve. Overall, this table equally emphasises function and visual interest, creating an instantly arresting aesthetic.

The overall form of the table has a light and airy feel, enhancing the 20th century aesthetic which it represents. With its elegant shape and careful design, this piece rises above the endless passing of trends, establishing itself as a modern classic in the realm of interior design.

This peculiar “T22” table model is also referred to as the “Eye”. While the name needs no further explanation, the ingenious design certainly does. Pierre Chapo always paired his creative and elegant designs with impeccable craftsmanship that gained him worldwide fame and love.

The “T22” is formed by two arcs, each resting on three cylindrical leg and a central oval module attached to one of the arcs by a sliding system. Placed together, the design forms an “eye”. Not a lot of designs receive a nickname by which they are immediately recognised, but this table is one of those. With its distinctive structure, it epitomises Chapo's research for new systems of joinery, in which the material and the design would be the lead factors in achieving stability, durability, and of course, an aesthetically pleasing outcome. Here, the smaller middle module can be adjusted or removed freely, allowing the table’s modules to be arranged in a variety of ways, for example, it can also be arranged to form a long undulating console. The immense functionality is accompanied by Chapo’s precise joinery techniques and woodworking. Pierre Chapo worked largely in elm wood and has a couple of signature design elements like the visible spline joint and the cylindrical legs as seen here as well. The solid elm has a stunning grain and various patterns that especially stand out on the curvatures of the table.

Chapo’s organic approach to arts and crafts and both designers resisted the stark industrial look that was dominant in the post-war period under the influence of socialism. This coffee table is undoubtedly an emblematic model of post-war French decorative arts and design.‎

About the designer:

Pierre Chapo, born in Paris in July 1927, was initially interested in becoming a professional painter. However, after a chance meeting with a shipbuilder who introduced him to wood and wood crafts, Chapo changed his focus and decided to study architectural studies at the prestigious École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

After graduation, Chapo and his wife, the sculptor, and painter Nicole Lormier, started to travel extensively through Scandinavia and Central America. Among the many places the couple visited was the home and studio of Frank Lloyd Wright in Taliesin West. A visit that had a lasting influence on Chapo’s future work and designs.

The Savonarola originates from a chair found in the convent of San Marco in Florence which was used by the 15th century Italian Dominican priest Girolamo Savonarola. Savonarola-style pieces feature a lower structure built from intersecting or flowing supports. In Italian design, it was often constructed from wrought iron, where curved elements replace rigid straight lines and create a sense of movement within the structure.

This dining table reflects that sentiment through its wrought iron base. The structure is made up of slender metal supports that curve and connect across the underside of the table. These elements distribute weight across the base to offer stability while also supporting the glass top above. The glass top introduces a strong contrast to the expressive base. It is flat, clear, and clearly geometrical, allowing the structure beneath to remain fully visible. This transparency turns the base into the focal point of the design rather than hiding it. The table feels balanced, from the mix of juxtaposing materials and shapes. The iron base is strong and bold, yet its curved lines prevent it from appearing rigid. The glass top, in turn, helps avoid visual clutter and makes the table easier to place in a room without overwhelming the space.

Overall, the piece works as both a functional dining table and a sculptural object. The combination of materials highlights the contrast between structure and transparency, while the flowing base connects the design to earlier Italian furniture traditions in a modern form.

Condition:

In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Marks and scratches are present on the glass. Due to the nature and age of the iron, the item may have some marks, scratches, and discolouration. Additional imperfections on the glass may be present due to age and manufacturing inconsistencies.

This stunning "L'Italienne" dining table, designed by the renowned French duo Guillerme et Chambron, showcases an exquisite blend of elegant aesthetics and rustic design elements. Crafted in the 1960s by Votre Maison, the table reminds us how form and elegance blend together in the duo's exceptional distinctive craftsmanship style.

At the heart of the construction of this model is the use of oak, a material renowned for its durability and timeless aesthetic qualities. Oak was the preferred material for Guillerme et Chambron, and this piece expertly showcases its rich and robust character, resulting in a solid, functional, and visually captivating work of art. Compared to the duo’s other models, this table is more pared down, relying mostly on the natural appeal of the oak, and its decorative legs. Unlike in most mid-century models, ornamentation was an important part of the duo’s creations, and while apparent, they were never overwhelming. This balance kept the pieces’ elegance, like in the case of this dining table. Furthermore, this piece is full of character and offers expressive and sculptural functionalism. Guillerme et Chambron’s table designs are well-known for their distinctive appearance and multi-functionality; this model is extendable and shows how decorative design and functionality were equally important for the designers, being as sensitive to the use of furniture in everyday life as to the creation of innovative design.‎

The table's form is clean, geometric, and is a testament to Guillerme et Chambron's dedication to modernism, while staying rooted in traditional craftsmanship and joinery techniques. Their work not only represents the fusion of function and form, but also exemplifies the mid-century modern aesthetic, which they played a pivotal role in actively shaping. Their emphasis on quality craftsmanship and the use of noble materials - like oak - has undeniably left a lasting imprint in the world of furniture making, solidifying their legacy in the French design landscape during the mid-century era.

During the 20th century, Italian mid-century design embraced innovation, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. This period became renowned for merging function with artful form, creating pieces that were as visually striking as they were practical. This Italian dining table epitomises that era, embodying both the timeless elegance and forward-thinking spirit that defined mid-century design.

Without heavy ornamentation, the viewer's eyes fall on the beautiful design and quality materials. From the use of walnut wood to the shiny glass top, the piece shows intention and proves experienced decision making.  Walnut is oftentimes a woodworker’s preferred material, ensuring durability while showcasing a beautiful natural grain. Complementing the table's body, the piece features an overlaying glass surface, which sets it apart from most similar items. The dark stain of the wood complements both the glossy sheen, which reflects the light off the table's surface when looked at from certain angles, as well as the black top. The angular, almost sculptural shape of the beautifully tapered legs lends a light and airy feel to the piece, in juxtaposition with the dark tones. The stability and firmness of this piece is reinforced on two levels, on one hand through the metal capped feet, and on the other through the addition of a stretcher at the upper part of the legs, together offering ample reinforcement. The mix between aesthetically and functionally driven design decisions transforms this table from ordinary dining furniture into a statement of effortless elegance.

From the blend of materials including the walnut frame, glass top and metal details, this dining table showcases the mid-century appeal that popularised the Italian Modern movement. With its admirable proportions and subtle details, the mix between form and function meets classic Italian design to arrive at this eye-catching addition to any interior.

Condition:

In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Glass panel is a later addition by a previous owner. Visible restoration work by a previous owner.
