ABOUT PRODUCTID 12239
This set of three rattan side tables, designed by Jan Kalous for Úluv in 1960s Czechoslovakia, exemplifies thoughtful mid-century modern design. The ensemble consists of two round side tables and one elongated oval table, all finished in a warm, honey-toned wood. The tabletops feature smooth, matte-finished wood at the center, framed by a tightly woven rattan rim that provides a subtle texture contrast and visual lightness. The legs are made of solid wood, gently tapered and splayed outward for stability and balanced proportions. Visible dowel joints and the absence of metal fittings emphasize the natural quality of the materials. The overall condition is described as very good: surfaces are clean, with no fraying or discoloration of the rattan, and there are no signs of restoration or damage. These tables evoke the spirit of the 1960s, a time when designers like Jan Kalous sought harmony between functionality and organic form. The rattan border encircles each top like a discreet ornament, while the warm wood tone recalls the everyday interiors of former Czechoslovakia—spaces open to nature, light, and simplicity. Every element seems to quietly speak of coffee gatherings, potted plants on display, and the sense of ease that this kind of design brought into mid-century homes. The set may be used as side tables beside a sofa, as plant stands, or individually throughout an interior. They can be paired with other 1960s furnishings—such as a low wooden credenza or an upholstered armchair with clean lines. These tables would perform well in mid-century modern arrangements or in eclectic, collector-focused spaces where natural materials and uncluttered forms are appreciated.
