ABOUT PRODUCTID 9368
The Helicopter table by G-Plan, designed and produced in the United Kingdom during the 1950s, exemplifies the mid-century modern aesthetic. Its construction centers on a rectangular teak wood top in a warm, medium-brown tone, finished with a semi-matte lacquer that highlights the natural grain and texture. The most distinctive feature is the base: four splayed, angular legs joined by a central stretcher, creating a dynamic, sculptural support reminiscent of helicopter blades. Brass caps at the joints provide a refined, understated accent, while the joinery is precise and clean, with no visible screws or fittings. Measuring 137 × 76 cm with a height of 71 cm, the proportions balance visual lightness with everyday functionality, making the table suitable for dining or living spaces. The table is restored, showing no visible damage, scratches, or signs of wear. The Helicopter table tells a story of British optimism in the 1950s, when modernity blended with traditional craftsmanship. Its minimalist yet expressive leg silhouette echoes the era’s fascination with technological progress and aviation—a nod to a time when design sought harmony between form and purpose. The subtle brass sheen and the depth of teak evoke interiors where design was synonymous with comfort and understated sophistication. The table may be paired with lightweight chairs—preferably bentwood or upholstered in muted fabrics. It works well in mid-century modern settings, but can also anchor more eclectic interiors, where it contrasts with contemporary lighting or geometric rugs. Consider combining it with brass or ceramic accents to highlight the interplay of materials and eras. The pronounced teak grain is best appreciated in a well-lit space, where natural light brings out the richness of the wood.
