I say not
Definately "in the style of" but looks like a lot of Kaganesque stuff that was produced in the 70's.

Kagan, or no Kagan...
this table seems an unsuccessful design. Everywhere I look it uses more rather than less material than would be required another way. And the four point star at one end seems to have nothing to do with the two tentacled squid that forms the other end. There just to much frame for too little table top, also. And the asymmetry of each end neither counter balances, nor counterpoints the other. Anyone else have any aesthetic comments about this table pro or con?

Yes, I think you are all...
Yes, I think you are all correct. I only ask because some antique dealer websites claim its Kagan, while some claim its Kagan "style". I always thought it was only in the style, nothing more. Although I think it looks pretty interesting as tables go, it is clearly not as refined as a real Kagan.
One of you said there were a lot produced in the 1970's. I wonder by whom?
I saw one in a local antique shop for about $500 (sans the matching side tables) -- far less money than what I've seen bona-fide Kagan Tri-symmetrics priced at ($5000), which makes sense, though one place I saw wanted over $2,000.00 for one, which I thought was way too much given its status as a knock-off and being not as good as an authentic table in its design, even if it was technically an antique.

Here's a real Kagan Tri-symmetric to compare.

i have had one
of these tables once and did a fair amount of research on it. the shape of the glass on mine fit the form of the base much better and the whole thing made more sense visually. the closest i could come up with was adrian pearsall for craft associates though i could never find conclusive proof.

One thing Pearsall's...
One thing Pearsall's furniture has in common with this "kind-of-Kagan" is the way strips of wood are laminated together and then carved, as opposed to carving a single piece of wood.
