MCM Astro Nesting Tables by Kai Kristiansen for G-Plan

A set of red label Astro teak nesting tables, designed by Kai Kristiansen for G Plan.

There is no official name for this ever-popular design but as they’re related in design to the Fresco range’s so called ” astro tables ” , this is how they are commonly known.

In the late 1960s catalogues they first appear as a double nest called Brasilia, but by the early 1970s they’re just called nest of tables !

In the G Plan 1974 catalogue they were priced at £47.50 , which according to an online inflation calculator that would put them at over £540 today !

We’ve always have odd ones of these in stock in varying vintage conditions but this is my first set of three and is in superb vintage condition, only extremely minor light surface scratches. Hopefully our photos convince you of this !

These truly are the iconic classic teak nest of tables, super chic with curved frames and smooth tops, edged in contrasting afromosia, great grain detail and a deep colour.

The Astro/Fresco nest are incredibly popular due to their functionality and good looks, multi-functional tables that can be kept together or spread around the home as plant tables/side tables/nightstands.
