 Free Simple DIY Parsons Table plans - Made with plywood and painted, plus simple construction makes it easy to build one of any size. This table, designed in the 20s, is generally attributed to Jean-Michel Frank, a French designer and decorator associated with Parsons School of Design in New York City. But the Parsons table, as we call it today, has become an American classic not because of a cultured lineage, but simply because its timeless charm fits just about anywhere. It is, in fact, the essence of tableness -- a distillation of primary components rendered in seamless flat planes, parallel lines and right angles. Our version is scaled to serve as a coffee table, but the simple construction details make it easy to build one of any size. And, to accentuate the geometric nature of the piece, we applied a paint finish that covers the woodgrain and joint lines.
