Set of three nesting tables by Pierre Paulin for Thonet, circa 1955.

Set of three nesting tables designed by Pierre Paulin and produced by Thonet around 1955. Each table features an ash veneer top with organic kidney-shaped contours. The distinctive grain of the wood contrasts with the slender tubular metal legs, lacquered in three different colors: black, red, and yellow. The decreasing sizes of the tops allow the three tables to nest under one another. Manufacturer: Thonet, around 1955.
