Mid-Century Modernist Triangular Side Table with Tapered Supports signed Cushman
This Mid-Century Modernist triangular side table, crafted by Cushman and signed by the maker, is an elegant and understated piece reflecting the principles of mid-century design. Created in America circa 1950, the table features a distinctive triangular top with softly rounded edges resting on tapered supports, showcasing the era's hallmark prioritization of clean lines, functional forms, and natural materials.
The triangular tabletop offers a unique shape that sets it apart from traditional circular or rectangular tables. Its smooth, rounded corners give it an organic, minimalist aesthetic that is both practical and visually engaging, making it adaptable for a variety of uses, such as a side table in a living room or a bedside accent. The tabletop is crafted from a fine hardwood, polished to highlight its natural grain and warm, honey-toned finish.
The tapered supports, evenly spaced beneath the triangular surface, add a sense of lightness and elegance to the overall design. This subtle detailing—from the narrowing legs to the precise angles—creates a clean-yet-dynamic silhouette, characteristic of Cushman's mid-century functionalist ethos. The table's compact yet distinctive form makes it especially well-suited for smaller interiors or spaces requiring versatile, unobtrusive furniture pieces.
Cushman, a highly regarded name in American furniture design, is celebrated for its contributions to durable and thoughtfully designed mid-century furnishings. Known for their quality craftsmanship and use of fine woods, Cushman's work remains highly collectible for its timeless appeal and durable construction.
This Mid-Century Modernist triangular side table, signed by Cushman, is an excellent example of mid-century design’s ability to combine simplicity, functionality, and subtle artistry into an enduring and stylish piece. It serves as a timeless accent that can seamlessly enhance both modern and eclectic interiors. In Mint Restored Condition, and signed on the undersurface denoting the maker.
