The Parquet Torsion is a round table with a parquetry top, torsion-turned legs, and a shaped lower shelf.
The surface is laid in a repeating parquet field, where directional grain creates depth and variation across the wood. A rounded edge softens the transition at the perimeter, while the turned legs introduce a vertical rhythm that contrasts with the circular top.
The underside retains a maker's mark reading “Topanga, California,” placing its production within a mid-century Southern California workshop tradition. Drawing on earlier European forms, the table reflects a period in which historical influences were adapted through regional craft and material expression.
The table has been refinished, bringing clarity to the wood while preserving its tonal variation and character. The lower shelf echoes the form above and provides additional surface, allowing the piece to function comfortably beside seating, within a study, or as a center table in a smaller room.
