Jacques Adnet Octagonal Three-Tier Side Table, 1954
Description
Jacques Adnet octagonal three-tier side table, wood, France, 1954
Designed in 1954, this octagonal side table feels like a miniature piece of architecture. Two solid uprights frame the structure like bookends, while three faceted tiers hover between them in a precise vertical cadence—thin, sharp, and beautifully proportioned.
The wood surface is the real mood: richly figured, warm, and cut to emphasize the octagon with subtle shifts in grain. Then there’s the detail that makes it unmistakable—the small raised tab on the top, a quiet interruption of symmetry that reads like a Parisian signature.
It carries the cultivated, material-first sensibility associated with French masters like Paul Dupré-Lafon and Jean-Michel Frank—quietly graphic, impeccably balanced, and effortless in contemporary interiors.
Compact and sculptural, it works as a side table, a low display stand, or a refined landing spot for books and objects—graphic from every angle, never heavy.
