Rare Mid-Century Space Age Console Table / Desk – Elco, Germany, 1970s
A highly distinctive 1970s Space Age console table / desk by Elco, Germany, featuring a clean architectural form, dark blue drawers, white laminate surfaces, iconic round Space Age handles and an elegant chrome-plated pedestal base.
This piece is a beautiful example of German Space Age furniture design from the 1970s, a period known for futuristic geometric forms, innovative materials and striking combinations of colour and polished metal.
The desk features two spacious drawers, each fitted with the characteristic circular Space Age handle. The dark blue drawer fronts create a strong contrast against the white laminate top and side panels, while the slim chrome-plated legs give the piece a light, floating appearance.
With its compact proportions and minimalist silhouette, it can be used as a console table, writing desk, dressing table, hallway table or occasional desk. Its distinctive futuristic character makes it equally suitable for a Mid-Century Modern home, Space Age interior, office, studio or design-focused commercial space.
The elevated chrome base and clean horizontal lines give the desk a particularly elegant and architectural presence.
