About the Item

Pair of side tables in the style of Karl Springer, 1970s, wrapped in natural grasscloth and finished with a high-gloss lacquer. The simple rectilinear form is softened by rounded corners and seamless edges, a hallmark of Springer's refined approach to exotic materials. Springer was celebrated for elevating everyday forms through the use of luxurious finishes – from shagreen and parchment to lacquered raffia and grasscloth. His work drew inspiration from Art Deco and modernism, yet carried a distinctive 1970s glamour that appealed to tastemakers, decorators, and collectors alike. Tables like these would have been used as versatile side or lamp tables, bringing both texture and sophistication to an interior. The natural woven grasscloth surface, sealed under lacquer, gives them durability while highlighting the organic weave. Comparable designs by Springer and his contemporaries were favored by top designers such as Angelo Donghia, Michael Taylor, and William Haines, who valued their ability to add subtle richness to both modern and eclectic interiors. This pair offers the timeless appeal of Springer's style restrained, sculptural, and material-driven - making them ideal for mixing with mid-century, Hollywood Regency, or contemporary design schemes.
