An icon of minimalist structuralism, the Abstracta system was designed by the visionary Danish architect Poul Cadovius in the early 1960s. This square coffee table is a perfect expression of the "Cube in a Tube" concept—a modular design so significant it was added to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) Permanent Collection in 1970. Its elegant, thin-profile frame utilizes a patented connector system to create a floating aesthetic that remains one of the most recognizable examples of Mid-Century Modern utility.
