Hi
Any ideas about this lovely little table, only remnants of the label remain unfortunately.
Cheers
Benjamin

Looks like the rare
Lane "Yin, Ling, Yang" occasional table. It's American made, but heavily influenced by ancient Chinese philosophy. That is except for the lower magazine shelf. That's a Western detail and runs contrary to the three elemental forces (earth, air, cellulose) that converge to create the circular top. The triangular form comes from a decidedly Judeo-Christian tradition that references the holy trinity bracing the legs. Without this underpinning, the table would fall flat on the floor and become nothing more than a decorative mandala. So the combination of Eastern and Western sensibilities seen in this piece creates a delicate balance which sustains the gravity-defying combination of wooden elements.
Very nice.
Or I might be completely wrong, in which case I haven't a clue about your table other than it looks like some pretty Deluxe Junk and you can put a lamp on it.
