Arkana Side Table

Side table in Tulip, designed by Maurice Burke and produced by Arkana in the 1960s.

It features a flared central pedestal molded from fiberglass and white metal, which widens at the base and supports a circular top with a smooth surface.

Maurice Burke designed a line of pedestal furniture for the British firm Arkana, inspired by Saarinen’s original concept, adapting the use of plastics and synthetic molds to bring futuristic aesthetics and leg-free space to British production of the time.
