About the Item

This side table was designed by Sten Blomberg for David Blomberg AB in Sweden in 1933. Executed in black-painted birch with a nickel-plated top and fittings, it reflects the shift in Swedish furniture design during the early 1930s, when the refinement of Swedish Grace began to give way to the more rational language of functionalism. The construction is deliberately restrained, with a rectilinear body, one drawer and an open shelf below. The black surface gives the table a strong architectural presence, while the metal-lined top introduces a practical and slightly industrial element. Sten Blomberg worked for David Blomberg AB between 1932 and 1937, during a period when Swedish interiors were moving towards cleaner forms and more functional solutions. The company was founded by his father, David Blomberg, an important figure in Swedish design history and the first artistic director and head of the furniture department at Nordiska Kompaniet.

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

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

By Bruno Mathsson, Karl 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...
