Nesting tables by Michel Buffet model “Knot” modernist French design.

Superb rare set of three nesting tables model Knot, designed in 1958 by Michel Buffet, an emblematic figure of post-war French design. A remarkable example of the modernist and neoplasticist aesthetics of the 1950s, where geometry and colour harmoniously interact. The three triangular tops feature vibrant primary colours (red, blue, yellow), a direct nod to the spirit of the Bauhaus and the world of Piet Mondrian. Their glossy finish adds a graphic and luminous touch, perfectly balanced by the elegant black tubular structure. The tops have been carefully repainted, and the set is in good vintage condition, showing some normal signs of use consistent with the age and authenticity of the piece. These tables can be used as coffee tables, side tables, or end tables, and will naturally find their place in a design interior, loft, office, or art gallery. Designer: Michel Buffet.

An icon of French modernist design, Michel Buffet belongs to the same generation of creators as Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Guariche, Jean Prouvé, Serge Mouille, and Mathieu Matégot. His creations, both functional and sculptural, reflect a quest for balance between industrial rationalism and formal poetry. These "Knot" tables are a rare collector's item, highly sought after by enthusiasts of 1950s furniture and Mid-century design.
