TABLE, WIM RIETVELD and ANDRE CORDEMEYER for GISPEN 1954
Model 531 by Wim Rietveld and André Cordemeyer has a functional design, reducing the use of material to a minimum. The thin metal legs are reinforced only where needed and so is the wooden top, which is finished with a layer of black linoleum. The result of this pragmatic approach is a light weight table of contrasting materials that looks beautifully unpretentious. This one is the biggest version. It is 125 cm wide (the smaller one is a 100 cm wide). It comes from the first owner, who treated it with utmost care all her life. It has oly a single dent in the linoleum of about 5 mm, no rings or anything else. I haven't seen one looking this good before.
