Pair of Square White Lacquered Fibreglass & Smoked Glass Side Tables by Poschinger, c.1970

This striking pair of side tables represents the Space Age spirit of German industrial design at its most assured, produced by Poschinger — a manufacturer celebrated for its innovative work in moulded fibreglass furniture during the late 1960s and 1970s. Clean, geometric and entirely uncompromising, these pieces embody the decade’s conviction that modern materials could yield furniture of both functional rigour and visual poetry.

Each table is constructed from a single moulded fibreglass body, lacquered white and engineered to a precise square geometry. The characteristic cut-outs at the base of each side create the supporting leg structure without the need for separate components — a technically elegant solution that gives the pieces their distinctive, almost monolithic presence. The smoked glass tops sit inset within the white frame, their dark tonality heightening the graphic impact of each piece.

At 72 cm square and 40 cm in height, these are generously proportioned tables — well-suited to flanking a sofa as side tables or serving as statement accent pieces in a modernist interior. The scale of each table gives it authority, while the white lacquered finish ensures they remain light and visually unobtrusive.

Designer fibreglass furniture from this period has attracted increasing collector attention as interiors enthusiasts have come to appreciate the quality and originality of German 1970s production. Both pieces bear the original Poschinger label — a mark of authenticity that adds to their desirability as a documented and perfectly cohesive pair.
