Coffee Table 2139
Josef Frank was fond of the round shape. It is seen in many of his designs, both in the windows in his architectural works and in furniture pieces like mirrors and tables. In coffee table 2139, he combines the round shape with his characteristic rim. The table’s foot design originates from the Queen Anne style that prevailed in England during the first part of the 18th century.
