“All edges must be thoroughly broken”, Carl Malmsten often wrote in his drawings. It was nature that was his great source of inspiration, and in nature there are hardly any sharp edges or corners. This “Alltid Redo” coffee table is a perfect example of this sentiment.

Neither the light, the eye nor the person likes to turn against sharp corners, Malmsten explained once. Therefore, edges should be rounded so that they become friendlier to touch and look at. Carl Malmsten was not only one of Sweden's most famous furniture designers, he was also one of the last century's great cultural personalities with a strong influence on the home environment, public environment and the contemporary public debate. His personality shines through the design of this soft-edged table as well.

The design is dominated by the rounded-square tabletop showing the beautiful yet subtle wood grain. To support the top are four straight legs with impeccable joinery that is visible under the tabletop. Since this table was made in the heyday of the mid-century, the legs - and the design as a whole - lacks heavy ornamentation, and instead focuses on the natural beauty of the wood and the rounded edges.
