Description
Carl Malmsten (1888–1972) Three-piece "Sledden" table set Mahogany Marked "City Möbler AB" H56 W69 D41 cm Small table approx. H37 W33 cm Condition: Slight signs of wear, stains Carl Malmsten occupies a unique place in the history of Scandinavian furniture. Opposed to excessive industrialisation, he championed a humanistic approach to design throughout his career, based on craftsmanship, respect for materials and a focus on comfort. His work, characterised by elegant proportions and clean lines, has had a profound influence on Swedish aesthetics and remains today an essential reference in Nordic furniture. This set of three Sledden nesting tables perfectly illustrates the quest for balance between functionality and refinement that characterises Carl Malmsten’s work. Crafted from mahogany, they captivate with the quality of their craftsmanship and the warmth of the material, whose grain highlights the simplicity of the design. Designed to nestle harmoniously one beneath the other, these tables meet the demands for flexibility and practicality inherent in modern living whilst retaining a timeless elegance. Produced by City Möbler AB, they demonstrate Malmsten’s ability to combine traditional craftsmanship with everyday functionality, making this set a remarkable example of mid-20th-century Swedish design.
