The Brutalist movement of the mid-20th century was known for its use of bold forms and imperfect organic materials, and gave rise to balanced, straightforward designs both in architecture and interiors. The skilled craftsmanship behind the construction of Brutalist furniture resulted in beautiful statement pieces, which celebrated and showcased the striking features of raw materials like stone.

The main design element of this model is the table's base, forming a stable and visually intriguing triangle. The choice of stone as the primary material for this coffee table adds a layer of sophistication and timelessness. The grain of the stone is not merely a surface detail; it becomes an integral part of the design, contributing to the overall aesthetic of the piece, making it entirely unique. While it is elemental thanks to the stone and interesting construction, the roundness of its top and its sculpted base still provide a sense of gentleness. It is this well measured tension between the shapes that make the design eye-catching and infinitely interesting. With its strong and distinctive details, this table model is a perfect accent table, while also being capable to complement its surroundings. This piece could fit well in a modern interior, as well as in a minimalist space.

Coffee tables, in general, serve as design staples in living spaces for a multitude of reasons: beyond their utilitarian function of providing a surface for drinks and books, they anchor a room, creating a focal point around which furniture and conversation revolve. This coffee table, with its distinctive design and robust material, becomes more than just a functional piece; it becomes a statement, a conversation starter, and a timeless addition that will elevate the aesthetics of any space it occupies.

Swedish architect and furniture designer Axel Einar Hjorth served as the lead designer for Sweden’s Nordiska Kompaniet department store from 1926 to 1938. During this time, Hjorth designed many collections from the “Sportstugemöbler” series to this "Typenko" model.

Elegant in its simplicity, this "Typenko" bookcase puts the emphasis on showcasing the material through a simple, uncluttered design. It deserts any unnecessary ornamentation in favour of the traditional mid-century design philosophy, which centres around craftsmanship and functionality. This piece features exposed shelves, which are an honest and functional design element. The open form makes it perfect to display anything, from books to design objects as there is generous storage space. Thanks to the airy arrangement of the shelves, the model allows the veneered wood’s varied colour and rich grain to shine beautifully. The pattern is so arresting that it can serve as a decorative element in a space on its own.

The Swedish company Nordiska Kompaniet manufactured this model with utmost care for its quality and design. The company was among the most renowned Swedish manufacturers during the mid-century era, working with some of the most well-known Scandinavian designers - and this "Typenko" model is a prime example of the great success these collaborations resulted in.

Adrien Audoux and Frida Minet were a French design duo who worked together during the 20th century. They were known for their innovative use of natural, sustainable materials, including rope, wicker, and bamboo. The duo’s work was heavily influenced by the Modernist movement, which sought to create functional and streamlined designs that were accessible to a wider audience.

Audoux & Minet’s pieces are characterised by a strong sense of craftsmanship, with each piece being handmade by the designers themselves or by skilled artisans. This dining table showcases a long rectangular top finished in warm wood veneer, its broad uninterrupted surface displays the grain. The top sits above thick base covered in a tightly woven natural fibre that introduces an immediate depth of tone and texture. The fibre flows across the supports in beautiful braided patterns, emphasising the bold and solid look. The rope is made into a geometric pattern which breaks up the woven surface to create a beautiful rhythm within the structure. The contrast of materials is central to the table’s character: the smooth, richly grained wooden top stands out against the coarse, rough and natural fibre below, allowing two very different surfaces to define the piece.

Today, Audoux and Minet's designs are highly sought after by collectors and are considered important examples of mid-century modern design. Furniture pieces like this table stand out through their unique textures, and their materials, as well as their classic charm.

Brutalist furniture of the second half of the 20th century often gave materials a dominant role, using simple, bold forms to emphasise their natural colour and texture. Stone was particularly effective within this approach, as its irregular surface could provide visual richness without additional decoration. This Posidonia slate coffee table follows that principle closely, with a low architectural form built almost entirely around the distinctive character of the stone.

The coffee table has a broad rectangular top supported by four rectangular legs positioned at its corners. Its construction is extremely clear, with the horizontal tabletop and vertical supports creating a simple geometric structure. Posidonia slate makes up the entire surface, giving the table a consistent material character. The stone has a deep dark tone with lighter areas scattered irregularly across the surface. These natural variations break up the large flat plane and ensures that no area of the table appears completely uniform. The top is particularly effective in constituting a focal point, as its generous uninterrupted surface provides a clear view of the slate's complex pattern. The low height further emphasises the horizontal shape, allowing the long stone top to remain the main focus from every angle. Coffee tables, in general, serve as design staples in living spaces for a multitude of reasons: beyond their utilitarian function of providing a surface for drinks and books, they anchor a room, creating a point around which furniture and conversation revolve.

The strength of this coffee table comes from the direct relationship between its simple construction and expressive stone. This piece represents a particularly striking example of the material-focused furniture associated with the era.

This rattan and steel basket is attributed to Dutch designer, Dirk van Sliedregt, and was manufactured by Gebr. Jonkers in the 1960s. Van Sliedregt was known for his minimalist yet functional approach to design, worked extensively with natural materials, often incorporating them into elegant, understated forms that reflected the modernist ideals of the post-war period.

De Gebroeders Jonkers (translated as The Jonkers Brothers) was a furniture manufacturing company based in Noordwolde, a town in the Netherlands historically known as the center of wicker and rattan production. During the mid-20th century, the company gained prominence for its high-quality woven furniture and collaborations with forward-thinking designers like Dirk van Sliedregt. Their work contributed to the growing international reputation of Dutch design during the 1950s and 60s, particularly within the context of modernist and Scandinavian-inspired interiors. This basket has a metal structure covered in wicker. The organic material is carefully woven around the steel frame, which is painted black, creating a sleek, interesting effect. The combination of metal and wicker gives a modern look to this basket. With functionality at the design’s core, this model is a decorative piece that can be used in versatile ways. The size is perfect to store magazines, books, or even blankets, allowing these items to still be visible even while stored away. Dutch mid-century rattan pieces like this have a well-established history and have been highly sought after. This is mainly because of the craftsmanship and modern design that The Netherlands has been known for for over a century.

Whether used for storage or as a sculptural accent piece, it stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of mid-century Dutch design. The combination of natural material, thoughtful form, and historical significance makes this a coveted item for collectors and admirers of European design heritage.

About the designer:

Dirk van Sliedregt (1920 – 2010) designed many particularly beautiful rattan furniture pieces. He combined his work as a furniture designer with that of a teacher at Dutch art schools, including the Academy of Enschede and the Rietveld Academy.

After the Second World War, Dirk van Sliedregt started experimenting with rattan. He created a couple of furniture designs, many of which were soon picked up by the furniture factory in Noordwolde. First the chairs were made entirely of rattan, and from 1952 usually a combination of rattan with a metal tubular frame. The pieces by Van Sliedregt stand out for their design, visually simple at first glance, but quite intricate on closer inspection. Van Sliedregt's designs are often a combination of rattan with a metal tube frame. He disliked sought-after shapes and what we would now call 'statements', and put emphasis on functionality.

Van Sliedregt was a self-made man, who made it from furniture maker, through furniture designer, interior designer and teacher to academy director. As much as he broadened his theoretical and cultural horizons, the carpenter in him continued to insist on the importance of good craftsmanship and practical experience. ~H.
