Hi everybody,I am new to Design Addict and am trying to identify these pieces.I figure they are end tables.They are heavy,seem to be made of wood and maybe fiberglass(?),are 23" tall and very well made..they seem to be identical as if taken from a mold..There is no indication of name or manufacturer and I have contacted 3 or 4 designers to see it it was their work,but no luck..I can't remember who I contacted as it has been some years ago..ThanksJohn in Florida

They remind me of Jordan Mozer, but they look a bit chunky. You say they are wood? It is difficult to tell from your photos, but could they be aluminum? If they were by Mozer, I would expect them to be aluminum.

And by coincidence, there are a number of Jordan Mozer pieces that are in the upcoming Wright Design auction (lots 149-158):

For those not familar with the name, Mozer has been practicing architecture, industrial design, and graphics in Chicago for many years. And while his work is very high end, one of my favorite pieces was a cartoon wall mural he did for the original Gold Coast Dogs in River North (hot dog joint). Unfortunately, it's now a 7-11.

Good one! Yes these do look like his work.
They definitely aren't aluminum,but it's hard to tell the difference between wood and fiberglass just knocking on them.
I will try to contact Jordan and see what he says..do you know if he's still alive?

Wow,that is beautiful in Black!
A red and yellow version would be amazing too!
I have gotten some insight into these tables - I found out they can be classified as "In the style of Zaha Hadid",though I still have not gotten a positive identification on them.
The expert I talked to said they were most likely sold by a large department store and there the trail ends..
We are very lucky to have found them yes?!
Here is a link for you
