Wooden tripod coffee/side table from Spain, dating to circa 1940–1950, in good used condition with small signs of age and imperfections, foldable, with dimensions 50 cm high, 35 cm wide and 35 cm deep.
Description from the seller
It's a tripod side table that breathes that warm, direct character of wood worked by hand, where each joint and every curve matters more than any industrial finish. The structure arises from three legs that open naturally, without stiffness, as if they had been designed to support themselves from the first sketch. There are no forced symmetries or overly straight lines: what dominates is the craftsman's logic, that search for balance achieved through eye, experience, and touch.
The top, light yet firm, rests on the central knot where the legs converge, a point that usually reveals the workshop's personality: sometimes rougher, with visible tool marks; other times more polished, but always with the human imprint intact. The wood shows lively grains, small tone variations, perhaps a knot that has been integrated as part of the design, reinforcing that sense of a unique, unrepeatable piece.
As a side table it almost functions as a gesture: it is placed where needed, accompanies a chair, supports a lamp, a book, or a cup, and when not in use, its presence remains friendly, light, almost sculptural. It has that charm of objects made without hurry, where functionality and beauty do not compete, but support each other.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
