Story
Lightness for Flexible Interiors
The manufacturer says nesting tables became popular in the 1950s with the growing need for more flexible interiors, and that the lightness of Wegner's tables makes it easy to reorganise furniture and create smaller zones in a room.
Side or Coffee Tables
The three graduated tables fit together perfectly and can be used as side tables or as smaller coffee tables.
