About the Item

Amazing and original dining set featuring a round extendable table and four teak chairs, of Hans Olsen's "Roundette" set for Frem Røjle, an icon of mid-century Scandinavian modern design. From its inception, the design was conceived as a sophisticated solution for small spaces, an objective pursued by its designer throughout his career. It is a simple yet sophisticated design with clean, straight lines. The chairs, with only three legs, become sculptural pieces that fit perfectly under the tabletop, their backs conforming to its contours, creating a compact and visually refined ensemble. Their organic and ergonomic, yet elegant, form is characteristic of the style. The contrast between the warmth of the wood and the elegance of the leather-upholstered seat is striking. The table has an extension that transforms it into an oval-shaped table, which folds in half and is stored inside the table. On Modern Scandinavian Style and Design When we refer to Nordic style or Scandinavian design, we are talking about the countries of Northern Europe, specifically Sweden and Norway, but also including Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. This style is characterized by its functionality, utility, formality, minimalism, timelessness, and durability, as well as the use of local and environmentally friendly materials, such as wood. The stylistic elegance we know today arose from the influence of early 20th-century decorative movements (Art Nouveau and Jugendstil) and the simplicity and purity of the interwar artistic movements (Constructivism, De Stijl, the Bauhaus, etc.). The 1930 Stockholm Exhibition was a significant point of reference, where designers blended local materials with modernity to create comfortable and luminous spaces. The concept of “Scandinavian design” was coined in 1954, following a North American exhibition of the same name that promoted both the lifestyle and interior design of the Nordic countries. Hans Olsen (1919–1992) Hans Olsen was a prominent Danish furniture designer, renowned for his contribution to Scandinavian design, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s. Born in Denmark, he trained at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts, where he began to develop his distinctive style. Throughout his career, Olsen was known for creating furniture that combined functionality with elegance, using natural materials such as teak and leather. His work reflects the influences of modern design and the inherent simplicity of Scandinavian style. Many of his pieces, especially chairs and dressers, remain highly valued today for their aesthetic appeal and quality. He also collaborated with several Danish furniture brands and was an innovator in the use of simple geometric shapes and clean lines.

Midcentury Ivory Jean-Claude Mahey Dining Table France lacquered wood brass
By Jean Claude Mahey
Located in Valladolid, ES
One of a kind and exquisite table clearly embodies the spirit of high-end French design from the 1970s and 1980s, characteristic of Jean-Claude Mahey. Its precise geometry and lacquer finish evoke an aesthetic that fuses Art Deco, reinterpreted with modern glamour. The octagonal shape of the tabletop is particularly striking. This formal choice breaks with rectangular or circular tradition, providing dynamism and sophistication. The golden brass lines, which divide the surface into triangular planes, reinforce the compositional structure and allude to a sense of almost architectural order. These golden lines function not only as decorative accents but also as visual guides that direct the eye toward the center, generating visual balance. Jean Claude Mahey often used this contrast between polished lacquer and shiny metals to highlight geometric shapes. The ivory or cream lacquer finish provides a polished surface, typical of Mahey's style, which amplifies the sense of luxury and modernity. This type of finish is often associated with Hollywood-inspired interior design and the refined opulence of the mid-20th century. The square-sectioned, also lacquered base presents itself as a solid, geometric volume, generating an elegant tension between the visual mass of the base and the lightness of the tabletop. The gilded metal profiles that frame the edges of the base reinforce the idea of ​​geometric luxury and add stylistic continuity with the design of the tabletop. The table is extendable. Its basic shape is square, but the two extensions (which fold in half) are hidden within the base and fit into rails that are concealed beneath the tabletop. Overall, this table is a paradigmatic example of Jean Claude Mahey's style: refined, geometric, glamorous, and deeply linked to an artistic vision of furniture as functional sculpture.
