Set of Three Brass Nesting Tables

Set of three brass nesting tables. Graduated in size, the three tables slide into one another and can be grouped together or spread out as needed. The warm reflections of the brass give them a luminous presence. Circa 1970.

The quintessential occasional piece, the nest of tables combines space-saving with flexibility: together, the tables take up the space of one; apart, they provide several surfaces for entertaining. Widely used in 1970s furniture, brass suits a contemporary interior as well as a more classical setting. Placed at the end of a sofa or beside an armchair, these tables hold lamps, books and glasses.
