Simplified Serving & Storage!  
This collapsible side table, designed for Fritz Hansen, Denmark, consists of a removable, naturally finished teak-veneered wood tray on a folding ebonized wood base.  The base may not be by FH since the legs are squared off rather than the typical taper.  Still, it's a terrific piece.  Wear is age-appropriate with only three small nips in the wood underneath the tray edge.  23.5" Dia x 18.75" H (instead of the usual 16.5").






Fritz Hansen Tray, Ca 1960             $   175.
