The "Haberfeld" table, designed by Adolf Loos, was round and had stabilising struts, which ran to the leg opposite. In the oval variation, these struts are placed to form a triangle at their intersection. In order to make use of the space that had been "wasted" for aesthetic reasons, Loos later replaced the struts with a solid oval (see also Salon Kniže, Paris, 1927). Loos used the round table for the first time in 1902 for the residence of Dr. Hugo Haberfeld.
