Black-stained oak. One of the boldest designers of Czech Cubist furniture was unquestionably Pavel Janák. The octagonal tabletop with a double-grooved edge sits atop a central pedestal. The pedestal is a characteristic Cubist composition of two octagonal truncated cones inverted onto each other. The morphology of the design dates it to the early stages of the Cubist movement. The side table comes from the same suite as the sofa and the chairs from a previous auction.
