History:
Josef Frank designed several furniture with spiral legs, including coffee tables for both Haus und Garten and Svenskt Tenn, and for the latter company he also designed a four-poster bed with twisted legs. Svenskt Tenn retailed this table as a 'Dining Table with Iron Base'", which was available with disc in coal marble marble, granite, slate or raw glass plate.
