Frank Wardle Coffee Table with Magazine Rack For VONO c.1970s

About the Item

Frank Wardle Coffee Table with Magazine Rack for VONO, c.1970s Chrome and polypropylene plastic H44 x L107 x D43 cm United Kingdom Designed by Frank Wardle for British manufacturer VONO in the 1970s, this utilitarian coffee table showcases the era’s fascination with new materials and space-efficient living. The piece features a streamlined tubular chrome frame supporting a moulded black polypropylene top with an integrated magazine rack beneath — offering practical storage without sacrificing simplicity or style. Wardle’s design is emblematic of British modernist innovation, where affordability, function, and forward-thinking material use converged. VONO, best known for its postwar steel furniture, embraced this ethos with pieces like this — compact, robust, and ideal for contemporary domestic settings. A subtle yet distinctive example of 1970s industrial design, this table brings sculptural form and everyday utility into effortless balance.
