Description from the seller

Rare Early Nebu Holland Space Age 3-Piece Table Set by Erik van Buijtenen – Early 1970s

A rare and highly distinctive three-piece Space Age furniture set designed by Erik van Buijtenen and produced by Nebu Holland in the early 1970s.

This striking ensemble consists of one larger, sculptural multi-tiered table with an original dark smoked-glass inset top, accompanied by two matching cylindrical tables or storage stools.

Remarkably, these early examples are constructed from lacquered bent plywood, rather than the moulded plastic commonly found in later or other versions of this design. Their flowing organic shapes, curved openings and vibrant sun-yellow lacquer perfectly capture the futuristic optimism of Dutch Space Age design.

The original Nebu Holland manufacturer labels are still present, confirming the maker. An exceptionally eye-catching and increasingly difficult-to-find vintage design ensemble.

Condition: Pre-loved vintage condition. Some parts show signs of repainting and there are visible signs of age and use. The smoked-glass top has minor wear. All three pieces are solid and sturdy.
