A guéridon is a slim occasional table with a circular top supported by a central structure. Early examples of this typology drew inspiration from ancient Egyptian and Greek art, where supports were often shaped as human figures such as caryatids.
In this reinterpretation, the figurative references are simplified. The support is reduced to an abstract, structural form, maintaining a connection to the historical typology without directly reproducing its forms.
