Item Description
A rare TM Series side table / magazine rack designed by Cees Braakman for Pastoe, showcasing the designer’s innovative approach to functional Dutch modernism. The table features a refined enameled steel rod base supporting a beautifully shaped birch plywood top, creating an elegant balance between industrial materials and organic warmth. The open steel construction gives the piece a remarkably light appearance while incorporating an integrated magazine rack, making it as practical as it is visually striking.

The clean lines, intelligent construction, and honest use of materials have made his designs enduring icons of mid-century Dutch design. Perfect as a side table beside a lounge chair or sofa, the integrated magazine compartment provides convenient storage for periodicals while maintaining the table’s uncluttered appearance. The piece retains its original Pastoe manufacturer’s mark on the underside, confirming its authenticity. A rare and highly collectible example of Cees Braakman’s work for Pastoe, combining timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and everyday functionality.
