Squared Elm Side Table

This squared side table is a definitive example of functionalist design from the 1950s–1960s, defined by its geometric clarity and the prioritisation of natural wood grain. Crafted from solid elm, this piece highlights the distinctive, interlocking grain patterns and warm, light tones characteristic of this durable hardwood.

Featuring a crisp, squared profile, the design reflects the era's movement toward uncluttered, "honest" forms that serve as both furniture and sculptural accents, as well as transitioning seamlessly between multi-contextual uses.
