Hello all,
I have a sourcing question: In the current Dwell issue ("Eco-Friendly"), there is a Rug Company ad in the early pages (I believe a few pages after the table of contents). In the ad, there is a very cool end/side table that looks quite similar to the Rolly table currently being sold at DWR and Umbra but the legs are set more on an angle. Can anyone source this table?

As someone who has spent countless hours looking at vintage furniture on eBay (in my role as scavenger for ATLA), I would put my money on this table's being vintage. It looks like a Danish Modern piece to me. I found something similar (click my name to see it), but if I were you, I'd search eBay using the keywords "drum table," "Danish," or simply specify a mid-century piece in the Antique Furniture Finder and key in "table." You may have to scan through several pages of tables, but I can practically guarantee that you'll pay hundreds less than you would buying a table through DWR. Good luck!
P.S. Here's another vintage table with great legs that you could have stained dark:

I have no idea about the table, but that chair is also quite nice. Anyone have an idea of who it might be by?
I think Molly's on the right track here. It looks like all of the furniture pieces (the table, sofa, chairs) are vintage Danish Modern. The good thing is that many DM manufacturers still currently produce and carry some of these lines (though with slight updates like upholstery options and woods finishes). So even if you can't find these exact pieces through vintage sources, you might still be able to get new "updated" versions of this look.
the legs are classic Heywood-Wakefield of the famed "dogbone" Danish Modern-type of wood furniture pieces from the 40s-50s.
you can find pieces on eBay and some at heywoodwakefield.com
