Modern Coffee and Cocktail Tables

MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

1970’s Modern Pair End Tables by Kroehler Square Tops & Bentwood Double U Bases
Located in Topeka, KS
Fabulous vintage Modern end tables by Kroehler comprised of walnut toned square tops and bentwood curved double U-shaped bases, a pair. This pair is identified by markings & stamps on the underside plus archived research including online sources, vintage documentation and catalogs, designer literature, and other materials. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, the refinished top of one table still has a few age-related scratches & dark rings that were too deep to sand completely out or we would have sanded through veneer. We have not seen any outstanding flaws in the second table. Both have been given a polyurethane finish. Please see photos and zoom in for details as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1970’s. NOTE: If you love these fabulous bentwood end tables by Kroehler we have the matching coffee table listed here for sale if it is still available. These end tables are to DIE for!!!!! This is a GORGEOUS pair of vintage Modern end tables by Kroehler comprised of a walnut toned square tops and bentwood curved double U-shaped bases. Just take another look at this PHENOMENAL wood grain and contrasting tones! The edges are slightly darker and run horizontally while the center runs vertically and has a slightly lighter tone, and they bear a lovely urethane finish. It’s a simple but very STRIKING detail!! The bases are stamped 1773-90 MOZAM, which we think could be the type of wood but after extensive research there were just too many contrasting opinions and information to confidently conclude a positive identification on the wood… either way, they are MARVELOUS!! They have solid construction, clean lines, and curves in all the right places completing a picture of tastefully restrained elegance in Modern style fabulous-ness. They NEED to be in your living or family room on each side or your sofa hosting a gorgeous pair of lamps...
