A 1950s French Side Table in Solid Beech

About the Item

A superb French side table from the 1950s, crafted in solid beech wood, embodying the functional and honest design of the post-war reconstruction era. This rare piece is reminiscent of the work of René Gabriel and Marcel Gascoin—two leading figures of mid-century French utilitarian furniture. The structure features a clever joinery system with 8 wooden wedges, assembled without nails or screws—an elegant and efficient design solution typical of the period. The table includes two tiers and integrated side handles, making it lightweight, easy to move, and incredibly versatile. Dimensions: Height: 59 cm (23.2 in) Length: 90 cm (35.4 in) Width: 50 cm (19.7 in) Fully demountable, the piece can be shipped flat-packed in a box. A rare and characterful item for collectors and enthusiasts of French mid-century modern design.
