NOW SOLD!!! TEAK Expo 67 COFFEE TABLE by RS ASSOCIATES Canadian Classic
NOW SOLD !here is a classic of Canadian Modern Design. Originally planned as a designed for display at Expo 1967 in Montreal, the piece did not actually go into production until 1968. Designed by R.S. Associates of Montreal the unique design and construction gives the appearance that the top is actually “floating”, completely separate from the lower pedestal. Done in a rich teak wood that features a fantastic vintage patina. It does have some chips to the bottom of the front pedestal, and the top does have a few light scratches from honest use. It has been used but not abused. The nice thing about teak wood, scratches and marks are easily taken care of. Just a quick light sanding and then a good oiling and all of its stunning luster comes back to life. I have taken this into account when pricing this Piece. The table Measures 66 inches long, 26 inches wide and 15 inches high. . I am not much of a photographer so the pictures don't do the table justice. These would greatly compliment any Eames Era Mid Century modern living space, or add a slightly retro accent to any contemporary room. As more and more interest is being shown in Canadian Mid-Century Modern Design these are bound to gain in value.
