This specific design features a central footed pedestal constructed of sweeping, wavy silver ribbons flanking a central turned wood sphere, which is an iconic hallmark of Lanel's avant-garde table styling.

The geometric ripples and stepped waves of the "Ondulations" collection were famously chosen to decorate the grand first-class dining rooms and luxury bars of the legendary French ocean liner, the S.S. Normandie, in 1935.
