Metal Nesting Tables

January 3, 2017

Happy New Year once again…I am going to start off the year talking about nesting tables? Is that weird? Should I be talking about larger design and style “issues” at the beginning of the year…trends, design debates etc…or should I talk about nesting tables. I think I will talk about nesting tables…

Who doesn’t love a set of metal nesting tables? I have some painted white nesting tables (they are in storage, since I am currently without a home), my sister has some silver modern nesting tables, I think my best of friend AM has nesting tables too.

I went in search of some cute simple metal nesting tables…to see what I could find…so many nesting tables out there…I went on hunt to find a few in each price range…low, middle and high….

Iron Nesting Tables Attributed to Jean Royere – 1st Dibs – $3,853.29

In case you didn’t know…nesting tables are simply tables that are identical in look but descend ever so gradually in size so they can all “nest” under the largest of the tables. Usually these are side tables and they come in sets of three.

I spotted these cuties above on 1stDibs the other day. A set of metal nesting tables, made out of iron in the 1950s and attributed to celebrated architect and furniture designer Jean Royere. The 20th century twist on these tables with the classic profile are the super vibrantly colored glass tops in blue, yellow and red in the style of DeStilj movement artist Piet Mondrian – known for his color blocked paintings.

Anyhooo…these vintage tables got me inspired to find a few others that are more reasonably priced metal nesting tables in today’s Cheap to Chic!

I love the curvilinear base of the inspiration nesting vintage tables. While I couldn’t find anything similar, I did find these modern blue steel metal nesting tables pictured below. Great side tables for any space in my view

Happy New Year!

P.S. We have a new site up and running this New Year. I am not announcing it yet because there are still quite a few kinks we are working out. In my usual fashion of doing the what is considered a journalistic “don’t”, I am burying the lead about our new website….will have a real story on it and some of the new features coming up!!
