This is a German "Fliesentisch", a table covered in tiles at the top. It's not just old-fashioned, it's basically synonymous with a particularly old-fashioned person. Let's call them "squares", the shape of the tiles certainly fits. Are there any furniture items in your country that also transcend mere functionality? (And preferably no where else, not talking about Eames lounge chairs as a synonym for the nouveau somewhat-riche) #furniture #fliesentisch
