ABOUT PRODUCTID 10172
This side table from 1960s Czechoslovakia exemplifies the functionalist spirit of mid-century modern design. The rectangular tabletop is crafted from light grey, matte-finished formica, with subtly beveled edges that reveal a natural wood accent. The frame is constructed from bent steel tubes finished with highly polished chrome, giving the piece a mirror-like lightness and reinforcing its geometric form. Horizontal bars at the base strengthen the structure, while light-colored plastic feet protect the floor. Visible screws beneath the tabletop underline the honest, unembellished construction. The proportions are compact and the finishing details align with the period’s aesthetic. The original manufacturer’s label is preserved on the underside of the top. The table is in excellent condition, following restoration, with only minor, natural signs of use on the surface.The table’s form tells the story of Czech modernism, a time when durability and clarity of design solutions took precedence. The cool chrome reflects interior light, creating a sense of weightlessness, while the matte surface evokes the everyday life of the 1960s, when practical and aesthetic gestures merged. Each detail — from exposed screws to protective feet — reveals respect for both user and space, as if the table whispers of an era when form and function were inseparable and furniture was made to endure.This table could be placed beside a sofa in the living room or used as a helper next to an armchair, offering a spot for a cup, a book, or a ceramic display. It would suit mid-century modern-inspired interiors, minimalist spaces, or rooms with industrial undertones. Pairing it with upholstered seating from the era, a chrome-based lamp, or bold green plants would highlight the table’s neutral character and visual lightness.
