Pair of Paul Kafka walnut cut away end or side tables

A striking pair of sculptural end tables attributed to Paul Kafka, showcasing the exceptional beauty of richly figured walnut burl. The organic, free-form tops highlight dramatic grain movement and depth, celebrating the natural character of the timber while remaining unmistakably mid-century in spirit.

Each table is elevated on slender, tapered legs that create a sense of lightness and balance, allowing the sculptural tops to visually float within a space. The asymmetrical contours and precision craftsmanship reflect Kafka’s refined modernist approach—where material, form, and function are in quiet dialogue.

These tables work beautifully as bedside tables, sofa ends, or statement accent pieces, offering versatility alongside strong design presence. Together, they form a cohesive pair, yet each retains its own unique burl pattern, ensuring no two surfaces are alike.

An exceptional example of Australian mid-century design, ideal for collectors seeking distinctive, heirloom-quality pieces with architectural character.
