Amsterdamse School Sidetable in Oak and Coromandel, The Netherlands 1930s

Offered by: AtKris Studio

Description
The Amsterdam School movement produced furniture that balanced bold forms with artisanal detail, and this oak side table is a fine example of that spirit.

Design
Made in the first decades of the 20th century, the piece reflects the movement’s characteristic interplay between geometry and craft. The round top is constructed in oak with a central square detail in darker veneer, introducing subtle contrast. Its four legs are enriched with coromandel veneer inlays, forming elongated teardrop and geometric motifs that add rhythm and depth. A lower shelf connects the legs and provides additional surface space, underscoring the design’s practical dimension. The refined choice of coromandel, a highly prized exotic wood, emphasises the desire of Amsterdam School designers to bring a decorative richness into otherwise robust structures. The clean proportions of the table allow these inlays to stand out, creating a dialogue between form and ornament.

This side table embodies the Amsterdam School’s approach to uniting utility with artistic expression, offering both a sculptural presence and everyday usability.

Condition
The table is in good condition with light signs of use consistent with its age. The oak shows a warm patina, and the inlay work remains intact and well-defined.
