About the Item

The ‘Superellipse’ dining table, designed by Bruno Mathsson in collaboration with Piet Hein during the 1960s, is an icon of Scandinavian modern design. Its distinctive superelliptical shape masterfully combines the functional clarity of a rectangle with the soft harmony of an ellipse, a form originally developed by Piet Hein to solve the complex traffic design at Stockholm’s Sergels Torg. Recognizing the form’s potential for furniture design, Bruno Mathsson adapted it into one of the most celebrated dining tables of the modern era. The table features Mathsson’s patented tension-leg system, which gives the piece its characteristic lightness and structural integrity, while maintaining a sense of effortless elegance. Produced in various sizes and finishes, the Superellipse table has become a timeless symbol of Scandinavian design, admired for its mathematical precision, practical functionality, and sculptural beauty. It comes with two additional leaves: 50 cm each / 1' 7 3/4" each.

'Annika' Table Designed by Bruno Mathsson for Karl Mathsson, Sweden, 1936

By Karl Mathsson, 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...
