Product description
This is a Papillon side table, designed by Thomas Althaus for the manufacturer Metaform. The piece is characterized by its combination of a glass top and a sculptural metal base. The design owes its name to the base, which is reminiscent of butterfly wings, giving it a playful and organic look.
The construction consists of a round top of clear glass, resting on a central leg. This leg is held in place by a brushed metal disc, adding a subtle industrial detail. The three-legged base is made of white lacquered metal and offers stability while maintaining a light and airy feel. The design is a good example of postmodern design from the late 20th century, combining functionality with an artistic form.
The table is in good, used condition. The structure is solid and the original finish has been well preserved, with a character that matches the age of the furniture. The glass and metal frame show overall consistency, testifying to careful use over the years.
Due to its compact size and transparent top, this side table is versatile. It fits well next to a sofa or armchair in a living room, but can also serve as a bedside table in a bedroom or as an elegant plant stand in a hallway. Its minimalist yet expressive design makes it a suitable addition to both modern and eclectic interior styles.
