Mid-Century Modern Solid Wood Side Table, Sweden 1950s

About the Item

Organically shaped, clean-lined and elegantly simple are three terms that describe this side table well. The evolution of mid-century design was a direct consequence of accepting, continuing, and further developing the ideas of the modern movement. It was, in a way, a “softer” version of the modern movement by adopting natural, organic forms. The distinctive ‘guitar pick’ shape of this table is quite popular thanks to its functional and stylish look. Finn Juhl’s similar design for example has been relaunched recently due to popular demand. This original model from the 1950s has a very attractive and practical design that is also referred to as an end table. End tables are generally about the height of the arm of a chair or sofa and are used beside a larger piece of furniture. This table’s curved shape and generous surface area makes it a perfect side or end table, either next to a similarly curved piece, or next to a more rectangular design for contrast. Thanks to its universally appealing material and impeccable craftsmanship, it fits almost any design style. The structure showcases numerous functional elements, such as the solid wood top’s rim that prevents objects from falling off, and the interconnecting stretchers between the tripod legs that reinforces stability. It is apparent that equal attention was paid to the aesthetic quality, which is visible in the light curve of the legs and stretchers and the carefully crafted top. The minimalist design allows the beautiful grain of the wood to stand out throughout the table. The design draws from the beauty in nature, natural shapes, and natural materials, in this case, wood. Like most mid-century pieces, this side table is sure to enhance the daily lives of its users through its visually pleasing and functional design that is timeless in every sense of the word.

Swedish Mid-Century Cabinetmaker Sofa, Sweden 1950s

Located in Utrecht, NL

Svensk design, “Swedish design”, is unquestionably a conventional and popular branding device, with many companies explicitly promoting their products as examples of god design, “good design”. But svensk design does not simply represent “good” design made in Sweden, it also projects a powerful, concrete rendering of a sort of essentialized “Swedishness” embedded in objects, such as this sofa. Rounded out lines, unexpected curvature and innovative shapes from every angle define the design of this model. The aesthetic recalls classic English upholstered furniture...
