Side tables, each with plain toughened glass top and shelf on a chromed tubular frame. Both are redesigned versions of the original Gispen 503 table. In about 1933, Gispen began production of a series of three round tables of various diameters. Although the tables were identical in most respects, one of the 3 (model 503) differed from the other 2 in that it had both a top and a lower shelf.
The table was available with its top and shelf in various materials, originally ranging from stained wood and plywood with a lacquer or linoleum finish to mirrored glass or blue or black opalised glass.
This series of tables remained a distinctive feature of the Gispen collection until the 1950s. Gispen's no. 503 was the inspiration for the Van der Stroom Brothers Design Team to develop the present GS413 and GS415: 2 side tables that recreate the spirit of Gispen for today's interior.
