Description
A study in minimalist elegance and natural balance, this pair of wicker and chrome end tables by Martin Visser embodies the refined logic of post-war Dutch modernism. Designed in the 1960s for ’t Spectrum, the tables merge industrial precision with hand-woven warmth—each seat crafted from tightly woven rattan over a tubular chrome frame that appears to float lightly upon the floor.
The bent-steel bases curve in continuous motion, forming a cantilever that is both sculptural and structurally pure. The woven surfaces bring organic tactility to the polished geometry, creating a harmony of texture and reflection that feels timelessly modern. Ideal proportion for use as side tables, stools, or versatile occasional pieces beside a lounge or low sofa.
Condition is good, with the chrome maintaining a brilliant luster and the wicker showing gentle, even tonality consistent with age. The craftsmanship remains tight and sound, bearing the quiet endurance for which Visser’s designs are celebrated.
Condition: Some reed missing support pieces around edges, rust spots on chrome, some chrome plating peeled & repainted
