Paul Frankl Cork Top Two-Tier Side Table for Johnson Furniture

This striking two-tier side table by Paul Frankl for Johnson Furniture is a perfect example of his innovative approach to modern design. Featuring a natural cork top, it offers a beautifully textured contrast against the sleek wooden frame, creating a warm yet refined aesthetic. The tiered structure provides both visual interest and practical functionality, making it ideal for displaying decorative objects or everyday essentials. A true mid-century gem, this piece embodies Frankl’s commitment to blending organic materials with streamlined forms, ensuring its place as a timeless statement in any space.

Fun Historical Fact: Paul Frankl was a pioneering designer known for introducing cork as a high-end furniture material in the 1940s. His designs helped redefine American modernism, and his famed “skyscraper” furniture series was inspired by the bold architecture of New York City’s skyline.

The Restoration Record

Everything we touched, and everything we left alone

Sixty-four hours of bench time by two craftsmen in our Hyperion Avenue workshop. Period-correct methods and materials throughout.

Frame fully disassembled, joints cleaned of old glue and re-set with hide glue. One rear stretcher replaced with salvaged period teak, grain-matched.
Stripped by hand, sanded through 120/180/240/320 grit, then three coats of Danish oil cut back between coats. No lacquer, no filler, no stain.
New jute webbing over the original beech rails; horsehair and natural latex pad; Kvadrat wool bouclé in undyed oat.
Maker's stamp, original brass fittings and the patina on the arm caps — the marks that prove the piece lived.
