Swedish architect David Rosén worked alongside renowned designers such as Axel Einar Hjorth and Josef Frank at Nordiska Kompaniet (NK), one of Sweden’s most respected design houses. Rosén crafted this beautiful table for NK in 1938.

Made from pine, this table exudes a lovely charm and robust aesthetic that is characteristic of the era.

Moreover, in a rather distinctive way, softness and tradition merge in this coffee table.

The 1940s in Sweden were defined by a quiet but deliberate design philosophy rooted in function, clarity, and craftsmanship.

The craftsmanship is evident in the way each joint is fitted cleanly, while the organic character of the wood is emphasized. The table reflects the Swedish preference for comfort and approachability. The warm, honeyed tone of the wood further enhances its sculptural simplicity, capturing the sense of connection to nature that defined Scandinavian design of the 20th century.

Danish sculptor and industrial designer Jens Quistgaard (1919–2008) had a distinguished career in Denmark and the United States, and was especially active during the 1950s and '60s. Initially trained as a sculptor by his father, Jens Quistgaard expanded his skills by learning from carpenters and metal smiths, all contributing to his versatility as a master craftsman with the expertise to combine materials and techniques in novel ways. Quistgaard quickly became known for his fluid lines and for using unusual materials, often in combination. His most renowned and commercially successful works were created for the American company Dansk Designs. The company introduced Quistgaard and his minimalist Nordic design aesthetic to the United States, significantly contributing to the American appreciation of Danish Modern design. By the late 1950s, Quistgaard's work was synonymous with modern living. This teak side table is a clear example of his philosophy and clear aesthetic choices.

Intriguing and fantastical, the variety of forms Jens Quistgaard created expanded the vocabulary of functional design, calling on an array of familiar references, including natural shapes. This side table has precise forms without ornamentation, showcasing Jens Quistgaard's high-quality craftsmanship skills. Humble in its material and size, this table draws attention thanks to its distinctive look and personality. It has a round reversible top, which is characterised by the wood's grain and warm colours. The circular pattern has a constant rhythm and visually creates a beautiful alternation between darker and lighter tones. The pattern does not overwhelm the table - instead, it is an understated but clever addition to the design. The four legs are joined together by cross stretchers, which also serve the purpose of holding the top in place, gently letting it rest with no need for additional joinery or screws. This manner of combining the two separate parts is a detail that certainly derives from Quistgaard's sculptural training. The legs are slightly larger at the bottom, providing stability and visual interest. As can be expected from Danish design and craftsmanship, visually appealing elements usually also serve a functional role. In this case, the wooden elements under the table reinforce the stability of the structure in this ingenious manner, with the table top being supported gently by the legs.

Throughout his career, Quistgaard received numerous awards, including the Lunning Prize in 1954, the Neiman Marcus Award for Distinguished Service in the Field of Fashion in 1958, and Munch's Der Goldene Löffel in 1962. His work has been exhibited in museums worldwide, such as the Danish Museum of Art and Design in Copenhagen, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and the National Museum in Stockholm. This teak side table showcases Quistgaard's skills and adds an elegant touch to any living space.

What was once a drinking trough for animals, is reimagined as a decorative item that can be placed in an interior in need of a rustic touch. This console table is a charming piece with an organic edge.

In most mid-century European design, there was an early emphasis on wood as it connected everyday objects, such as furniture to nature. This rustic, solid wood table is a perfect example of this sentiment, and the visual benefits of an understated, organic design. In the case of designs like this table, the Japanese concept of wabi sabi is often brought up. Rooted in Zen Buddhism, wabi sabi emphasizes a perverse beauty in the deliberate imperfection. Wabi refers to the kind of beauty found in the asymmetrical, uneven edges and surfaces seen in the case of this table, sabi is for example the lovely patina of the wood. The tabletop has “wings” on both sides that resemble a trough that enhances the rustic look. At the same time, this feature has a functional perk as well, as items placed on it are more secured from falling off. The top is supported by a pair of trestle legs with similarly uneven, rough edges. The cracks elevate the rustic look, while the height perfectly balances out the thickness of the wood.

In rustic pieces, the wood is not overworked, its raw surface and edges are kept to show off the beautiful grain and texture. This is especially eye-catching on the long tabletop. Thanks to the peculiar shape, this table van be used in a variety of ways, including as a display console, or as a coffee table. Its organic charm is sure to stand out in any space.

This side table is a classic piece of Scandinavian modern design, therefore it comes as no surprise that this model was awarded the Gold Medal at the California Fair in 1960. Folke Ohlsson was a decorated designer, he won a Gold Medal at the 1951 Milan Triennale and was given the Good Design Award by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His furniture was also one of the first exhibits featured at Stanford’s art museum.

“Frisco” was part of the 'Bra Bohag' production from Tingströms Furnitures, Sweden. ‘Bra bohag’ means‘ good furniture in Swedish, and behind the expression was the lobby organization for better-designed everyday furniture for Swedish homes in the 1950-60s. It consisted of several furniture designers and producers, among them Tingströms AB. This solid wood model has a beautiful veneer that stands out thanks to the simple, uncluttered design. The top features a raised “lip” or edge, a playful and practical design element. Early in his design career Ohlsson almost exclusively designed in natural beech blond wood until critics quickly forced him to move to darker walnut and teak woods. This model was also influenced by this, breaking with the light Swedish modern aesthetic. However, the structure with stretchers set parallel on the legs is still very characteristic of Swedish mid-century modern design, not to mention the top quality.

Folke Ohlsson was one of the first Swedish designers who managed to bring “Swedish Modern” design to the United States’ market successfully. According to the story, when Ohlsson arrived in the United States, he took his suitcase and cardboard to hotels all over the country inviting salesmen, department stores, and decorators to view his miniature designs and watch as he disassembled and reassembled his chair design. He quickly became notorious for his patented “knock-down” construction that reduced shipping and storage costs and helped to make the Swedish company Dux a household name in the USA.

About the designer:

Folke Ohlsson was a born in Malmö, Sweden in 1919 and died in Atherton California in 2003. Folke studied at the School of the Gothenburg Society of Industrial Design before he began working for the Swedish furniture and bedding manufacturer, Dux. In 1950, he moved to the United States with only a suitcase full of clothes and an exact miniature scaled model furniture of his own design. He also carried a cardboard that contained the broken-down components of one of his chairs.

Many other Swedish designers tried to bring “Swedish Modern” design to the United States market, most notably at the 1939 World’s Fair, but all doing so “haphazardly” Ohlsson once claimed in the Vestkusten newspaper. According to Ohlsson, when he arrived in the United States he took his suitcase and cardboard to hotels all over the country inviting salesmen, department stores, and decorators to view his miniature designs and watch as he disassembled and reassembled his chair. He quickly became notorious for his patented “knock-down” construction that reduced shipping and storage costs and helped to make Dux a household name in the USA. Early in his design career Ohlsson almost exclusively designed in natural beech blond wood until critics quickly forced him to move to darker walnut and teak woods.

At its peak production in 1955, the Dux line was sold in all 50 states including Alaska and Hawaii and grossed upwards of $1,000,000. Folke Ohlsson won a Gold Medal at the 1951 Milan Triennale and was given the Good Design Award by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His furniture was one of the first exhibits featured at Stanford’s art museum. Ohlsson’s pioneering knock-down concept revolutionized furniture production and transportation and lead to the birth of global companies such as IKEA today.
