Tomotom Side Table Designed By Bernard Holdaway For Hull Traders Furniture Ltd

Now Sold

An original Tomotom side table manufactured by the Hull Trading Funrniture company.

The Tomotom side table is a three tier stand comprising a cardboard tube body with a large aperture on one side, inside which a chipboard shelf is inserted.

The table was created by British designer Bernard Holdaway as a later addition to the first Tomotom cardboard collection that was launched to great success at the Ideal Home Exhibition of 1966. All conceived on a circular theme, the range comprised of chairs, tables and lamps coated with tough enamel spray of a plain, eye catching colour with a high gloss finish. Conceived as cheap throwaway furniture and sold by mail order, the collection struck a chord with the young, fashion conscious families of the late sixties and established itself as an instant Pop classic.

Date: 1967 (designed) Materials and Techniques: Cardboard and chipboard; glued, pinned and painted.
