About the Item

Frederick John Kiesler Nesting Tables, metal, USA, 1935 Designed in 1935 by Austrian-American visionary Frederick Kiesler, this rare set of nesting coffee tables exemplifies the organic, sculptural approach that defined his radical contribution to 20th-century design. Kiesler, known for his work at the intersection of architecture, art, and performance, pursued a spatial philosophy that rejected rigid geometry in favor of fluid, continuous forms. Each table features a biomorphic aluminum top, supported by slender, drop-like legs that suggest movement and levity. The interlocking shapes appear as if captured in dynamic transition—simultaneously autonomous and interconnected. The matte, subtly textured finish emphasizes the sculptural presence of the set while reinforcing its futuristic material language. These tables reflect Kiesler’s visionary thinking, resonating with the experimental work of contemporaries like Isamu Noguchi and prefiguring the organic formalism explored by designers such as Carlo Mollino and Wendell Castle. More than functional furniture, they stand as spatial compositions—enigmatic, expressive, and unmistakably ahead of their time. We accurately check the quality of every object. Our in-house expert craftsmen carefully restored and reviewed the item. Contact us for additional information.
