T2 Tangram Side Table by Willy Van Der Meeren for Tubax, 1954

Willy Van Der Meeren designed this high side table, model T2, for Tubax in 1954.
The three-legged frame is made of black painted metal tubes, the top is covered with printed vinyl.
This table is in good vintage condition. The print on the vinyl is a little faded.

This T2 is complete authentic of the 1950s.

I arrived at this design because I hate those endless extension pieces that get stuck and always have to be stored somewhere. A table is more stable on three legs and the American and Norwegian prefabricated boards – 1,22 x 2,44 m – enable you to make 2 large and 2 small table-tops, plus 2 tops for bedside cabinets, without any waste. The table with extension pieces is replaced by 2 separate tables, one for the dining area and the other to work on. They can be put together for a larger group.
