Pierre Jeanneret’s Compass Coffee Table is a timeless staple for the sophisticated home. Two A-shaped tapered "compass legs," a signature Jeanerret design feature, bolster a rectangular lacquer teak base. Jeanneret’s addition of a glass top elevates the coffee table from purely functional design to practical decor, allowing the collector to curate a display within the vitrine.
