Product description
For sale is a luxurious, original Traneka mosaic coffee table / side table in mint condition.
OBJECT:
“Sun on the Moon” side table / coffee table
Version: Padouk
STYLE:
Mid Century / Danish
DESCRIPTION:
The table top of a Traneka table is made up of 1,764 individual, upright, solid woods using numerous different types of precious wood. Each plate has its own Design and character. The elaborate surface treatment according to precisely defined regulations ensures that the surface has a uniquely beautiful, matt silky shine. A special oil treatment gives the plate good resistance to daily wear and tear.
The choice of wood types for the legs and frames is tailored precisely to the play of colors of the table tops. Each piece of furniture has a brass plate with the series and number as well as the name of the architect and designer responsible for the artistic design.
Anyone who knows a little about carpentry or woodworking can imagine how time-consuming and how carefully it takes to produce a table of this quality! And not just with the table top, but also with the connection between the table legs and the frames. A special brass screw was constructed here, the cube head of which was hand-fitted into the table leg as a design element, visible from the outside.
