Description
Bruno Mathsson (1907–1988) Coffee table Beech veneer top, chrome-plated metal base Marked Mathsson International, Värnamo H52.5 D65 cm Condition: Slight signs of wear in the form of scratches on the top, slight impact marks on the edge. Trained in his family’s cabinet-making workshop, Bruno Mathsson developed an approach based on the study of ergonomics and functionality, whilst maintaining high standards in the choice of materials and the quality of craftsmanship. His creations, characterised by their light, airy structures and clean lines, helped define the aesthetic of post-war Nordic design and are now featured in the collections of the world’s leading museums. This coffee table perfectly illustrates the formal language developed by Bruno Mathsson, where elegance and functionality combine with remarkable simplicity. Its circular beech veneer top rests on a sleek chrome-plated metal base, creating a harmonious balance between the warmth of the wood and the modernity of the metal. Produced by Mathsson International in Värnamo, it bears witness to the designer’s attention to visual lightness and the quality of proportions. Devoid of any superfluous decorative elements, this creation embodies the fundamental principles of Scandinavian design: simplicity, rationality and the celebration of materials. Its timeless aesthetic allows it to blend naturally into contemporary interiors whilst remaining a significant testament to 20th-century Swedish modernism.
