AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Union – Vintage Teak Side Table on Casters with Integrated Magazine Holder – Mid-Century Modern, 1960s/1970s

Exceptionally beautiful and versatile vintage side table made of teak or with teak veneer, presumably from the 1960s or 1970s, with the original manufacturer label “Union.”

The piece captivates with its elegant, sculptural form, the warm, lively teak grain, and its extraordinarily well thought-out, multifunctional construction.

Particularly characteristic are the organically curved side panels with their generous, softly rounded cutouts. They give the furniture a light, almost hovering appearance and emphasize the elegant design language of Mid-Century Modern.

A special design refinement is on the back: an integrated magazine and newspaper holder is incorporated here, its curved wood front not only functional but also an independent design element. Through this extraordinary design, the side table is attractive from all sides and can be splendidly placed freely in the room.

The combination of different storage options makes the piece especially versatile.

Able to stand freely in the room, as each side is fully finished!

Equipment and features:

• Warm teak surfaces with expressive, natural grain
• Sculpturally curved side panels with characteristic organic cutouts
• Generous upper storage surface with elegantly rounded edges
• Open compartment for books and decorative items
• Two roomy drawers with original round wooden pulls
• Back-integrated, gracefully curved magazine holder
• Four casters for flexible and mobile use
• All-around appealing design, ideal for free placement in the room
• Original red-gold manufacturer label “Union” on the underside

The furniture is suitable as a nightstand, mobile side table, small rolling cabinet, newspaper rack, or a stylish storage piece next to a sofa or reading chair.

Its clear geometric lines, soft organic curves, and functional design elements reflect the design ideals of post-war modernism.

A particularly charming example of the combination of functionality and sophisticated furniture design that blends harmoniously in both Scandinavian-inspired interiors and in classic and modern living spaces.
