About the Item

Set of five tables designed by Palle Suenson for J. C. A. Jensen, Denmark. 1930's - 1940's. Solid Bangkok teak. Measurements: H: 72,5 cm/ 2' 5" L: 105 cm/ 3' 5 3/4" W: 73 cm/ 2' 5 1/4" Provenance: Aarhus Oil Factory A/S. Palle Suenson (1904–1987) was one of Denmark's great, Modernist architects in the 20th century. His work covers a wide range, from single-family townhouses to large-scale office buildings and public institutions. In 1938 young Suenson was commissioned to design a new office building for Aarhus Oil Factory A/S which resulted in a Functionalist building covered in 5,500 custom-made ceramic tiles. The commission also included interior, furniture and lighting, most of which were custom-made for the project. The office floors were constructed with the flexibility of movable walls to be able to quickly accommodate the changing needs, and the present addition tables embrace this purpose naturally. Suenson very carefully created interiors that would age gracefully, which these tables embody with their timeless design, solid wood and elegant details. The building was completed and inaugurated in 1942.

Table Annika Designed by Bruno Mathsson for Karl Mathsson, Sweden, 1936
By Bruno Mathsson
Located in Stockholm, SE
Table Annika designed by Bruno Mathsson for Karl Mathsson, Sweden. 1936. Elm top and birch legs. Measurements: H: 65 cm / 2' 2" D: 95 cm / 3' 1 7/8" This round “Annika” occasional table was manufactured in 1967 and designed in 1936; it is made of birch with a smooth Oregon pine top. Bruno Mathsson created various iterations of his “Annika” model — they come in three shapes with different wood combinations and various heights. They can be round with three legs, square with four legs, or rectangular with six legs, allowing exciting and contrasting combinations when grouped. While the design aesthetic is delicate, the table is very well-made because of the strong plywood. Bruno Mathsson’s love for nature pervades all his designs — he frequently slept outside in the forest or his garden on a specially designed foldable bed. His furniture shapes, particularly the legs, bring bull's horns or insects to mind. Mathsson was one of the most important Swedish designers of the 20th century. He was a contemporary of Alvar Aalto and Marcel Breuer, all of whom had already experimented with bent plywood during the 1930s. Karl Mathsson, Bruno Mathsson's father, was the fifth generation in a family of master cabinet makers. He owned a furniture manufacturing company that produced the earlier pieces; later, they founded "Mathsson International”. The stamp indicates the manufacturing date and, sometimes, the design date. Bruno Mathsson often gave his furniture Swedish woman...
