About the Item

This rare side table, produced by Bodafors Möbelfabrik in Sweden during the 1960s, exemplifies the refined material sensibility and compositional balance characteristic of Scandinavian mid-century design. The tabletop features an elaborate intarsia surface, composed of various carefully selected wood veneers arranged in a dynamic interplay of geometric forms and curvilinear motifs. The contrasting tones of the veneers—ranging from light to dark—are used to create visual depth and rhythmic movement across the surface, emphasizing the artisanal craftsmanship involved in its construction. The overall form of the table is subtly asymmetrical, with softly rounded edges that break from strict geometric rigidity, adding a sculptural dimension to the design. This organic contour enhances the piece’s visual fluidity and underscores the influence of nature and biomorphism prevalent in Scandinavian design of the period. The table stands on three slender, tapered legs crafted from solid wood and finished in a black lacquer. The base is subtly accented with brass fittings at the leg junctions, introducing a refined metallic contrast that complements the richness of the wooden top. These brass details, though minimal, contribute to the overall elegance and demonstrate a thoughtful approach to material combination. Natural signs of aging are visible across the wooden elements, most notably in the form of a warm, consistent patina that has developed over time. This surface quality adds historical texture and highlights the quality of the original materials and finishes. Despite its age, the table remains structurally sound and visually coherent, with wear that enhances rather than detracts from its character. Measuring 46 cm in diameter and 47 cm in height (18.1 × 18.5 inches), the table is compact and well-proportioned, ideal for use as a side or occasional table in a modern interior. The design reflects Bodafors’s commitment to blending artisanal woodworking traditions with modern design principles, making this piece not only a functional object but also a representative artifact of Swedish design heritage.
