Nesting Tables

Marcel Breuer

Originally part of a series of five pieces designed by Marcel Breuer in 1936 and subsequently regarded as landmarks in 20th century furniture design, the Nesting Tables have been re-issued in 2022 in collaboration with Margaret Howell.

Isokon’s shared values of simplicity and commitment to British craftsmanship makes Margaret Howell the perfect partner for the re-issue of Marcel Breuer’s iconic Nesting Tables.

Described at the time as ‘the simplest tables ever made’ each table is formed and cut from a single piece of 11mm birch plywood consisting of seven individual 1.5mm layers. Each table is marked with an Isokon and Margaret Howell branded stamp, to recognise the re-issue and partnership.

Isokon advanced the cause of international design in 1930s Britain - simple, minimal, and still so modern.’ - MARGARET HOWELL
