THE ARABESCO TABLE was designed in 1949 had an unusual shape. The design had a stiff twist and turn with traditional surface made of plywood. The legs, engulfed by brass tips, secured it from the ground. The table had fluid lines that prevented cracking of the wood. Again, organic shapes dominate its design.
