Mid Century Modern Olive Burlwood Pedestal Side Table, c.1960’s

Description: This 1960s olive burlwood pedestal side table is all about contrast: a simple cylindrical form wrapped in wildly expressive natural grain. The clean round silhouette keeps the piece minimal and modern, while the burlwood pattern brings movement, warmth, and almost marble-like visual depth. Its pedestal shape makes it easy to use beside a lounge chair, sofa, or bed, offering a sculptural accent without taking up too much visual space. The subtle circular detail on the top adds a refined touch, giving the design a more finished and intentional look. Expertly refinished, this piece is ready to bring a bold but elegant Mid-Century Modern statement into any room.

Fun Historical Fact Burlwood became especially desirable in mid-century interiors because every piece of veneer had its own unpredictable pattern, making each table feel completely unique. Designers loved using it on simple shapes because the quiet form allowed the dramatic grain to do all the talking. Basically, burlwood was nature’s way of saying, “I’ll handle the decoration.”
