This stunning Mid-Century Modern magazine rack side table was designed by the British born architect and furniture designer T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings for the Widdicomb furniture company circa the 1950s. This walnut magazine rack table model no. 1646 features a sculptural x-shaped base for storing magazines and books with a floating top at 20.5" height making it a perfect reading table beside a cozy chair as shown in the Widdicomb catalog. With all of Gibbings signature details, this stylish and functional piece multi-tasks beautifully.
Robsjohn-Gibbings worked as a designer for the Widdicomb Furniture Co. from 1943 to 1956. Widdicomb was an American furniture manufacturer founded in 1858 by George Widdicomb in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
This piece has been refinished.
