About the Item
The 1970s were arguably one of the most interesting eras in French design, with “a lot going on” in the creative world. In part a reaction against the sleek modernism of mid-century design, 1970s design was more about playful embellishments and self-expression in general. This table is the visual antithesis to that sentiment, with an understated look, created for a primarily functional purpose.
This table represents an exquisite blend of craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal. In France, designers were often also architects, whose focus on functionality and quality resulted in pieces such as this stunning coffee table. Its base, crafted from wood, provides a sturdy foundation, while the table-top in travertine adds a touch of sophistication. Travertine is a form of limestone, and here it brings a distinctive character to the table. Known for its unique, porous surface, travertine showcases natural variations in colour and texture, consequently making each piece one-of-a-kind. The combination of travertine and wood not only enhances the table's visual allure but also ensures this model’s high visual quality. Broadly, French furniture design in the mid-to-late 20th century was influenced by a combination of factors, including the aftermath of World War II and a desire for material experimentation. The result was a style that prioritised functionality without compromising on aesthetics. This coffee table perfectly encapsulates the design ethos of the period, showcasing beauty and practicality through employing organic materials, unique details and solutions.
The overall form of the table has a light and airy feel, enhancing the 20th century aesthetic which it represents. With its elegant shape and careful design, this piece rises above the endless passing of trends, establishing itself as a modern classic in the realm of interior design.

Roland Wilhelmsson “Kvadrat” Coffee Table, Sweden 1970s
By Roland Wilhelmsson
Located in Utrecht, NL
Designed by Roland Wilhelmsson, this “Kvadrat” table is from the era when Swedish design and culture started attracting design-conscious international buyers on a large scale. The model’s design is dated to 1972, and this particular table was manufactured in Huskvarna, where the manufactory still operates, for more than four generations now.
Swedish furniture and interior design culture went through dramatic changes during the 1970s. The effects of the late 1960s’ rebellious view of design, production and consumption had an impact in the form of freer furnishings and resource-efficient furniture in simpler materials. In the mid-1970s, rustic pine furniture often in oversized dimensions - such as this table - suddenly became the highest fashion. Therefore, the local and resource-efficient craft received a renaissance. This “Kvadrat” coffee table...
