1960s Mid-Century Modern Occasional Side Table in Solid Ash

Introducing a Mid-Century Occasional Table in Solid Ash, a perfect blend of modernist simplicity and subtle influences from the Arts and Crafts movement. The piece features a simple single plank round top that rests elegantly on a square geometric cross frame, creating a striking yet understated design.

The beauty of this occasional table lies in its simplicity and proportions. The timber has been carefully selected for its thickness and weight which gives a beautiful silhouette. The round top sits snugly against the frame, while the subtle yet significant wider footing at the base adds visual interest.

The timeworn patina of the ash wood enhances the table’s character, making it a perfect fit for a variety of design schemes. Whether placed in a discreet corner or positioned as a statement piece next to a reading chair, this table effortlessly complements both contemporary and traditional interiors.

Complementary Design Philosophy:
The Arts and Crafts movement and Mid-Century Modern design are highly complementary and can blend beautifully in an interior space. Both movements emphasise simplicity and functionality, prioritising practical design over excessive ornamentation. Arts and Crafts championed “beauty and usefulness,” a principle that evolved into the Mid-Century Modern tenet of “form follows function.”

Both styles also celebrate the inherent beauty of natural materials, particularly wood. This shared appreciation provides a common ground that unifies the two styles and both movements value craftsmanship and attention to detail.
