Good evening,
We purchased this table that came with a 50's Eames LCW as a companion piece.
At first glance, it seems Alvar Aalto in design, except that that table top is sloped in, rather than the straight-edged that I have seen with Alvar Aalto's pieces.
Every leg, and the table top has a burned-in mark stating "Made in Denmark". 5 Marks in total.
The legs are 17 layers of thin plywood, with 2 veneers (one either side).
The table top is 9 layers plywood with 2 Veneers (one either side).
Estimated age is pre-1950.
Table Specifications:
Total Height 17.5" height (45cm)
Table top by itself is 18" x 18" (458mm) x 7/8" (22mm)
Each leg is 16 7/8" (430mm) x 1.5" (38mm) x 7/8" (22mm)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Well
It is better than it appears... it was a nice bonus to get, we obtained this as well a 1951 Eames LCW at the same location.
I was after the Chair, and my girlfriend wanted to ensure we got the table as well. She saw something in it I did not, and when we had it delivered, sure enough, it works remarkably well.
I have a suspicion it is designed by someone of note and I am curious to see if someone spots it.
A.S.
tinyarmada,
I've come...
tinyarmada,
I've come across a bunch of Aalto stacking stool copies with the exact same legs and denmark stamps.
Everything I saw and found about them lead me to believe they were not designed by anyone special and were merely copies of the Aalto designs.
It looks like somewhere along production they probably adpated the legs from the round stools to the tabletop you have.
It would definitely explain the awkwardness of the design.
