Table in Rosewood by Karl-Erik Ekselius, 1968

Creator: Karl-Erik Ekselius
Offered by: Studio-Schalling-SE

Description
This very rare table, designed by Karl-Erik Ekselius and produced by JOC in Vetlanda, Sweden, exemplifies the sculptural elegance and meticulous craftsmanship characteristic of Scandinavian mid-century furniture. Crafted from richly grained rosewood, the table features a circular top supported by an elegantly curved pedestal base that flows seamlessly into the floor. The base is composed of segmented wood panels arranged in a radial pattern, emphasizing the organic movement and harmony of the design.

Dating from the 1960s, this piece reflects Ekselius’s refined approach to modernist principles, blending clean lines with artisanal detail. The choice of rosewood enhances the table’s visual richness, with natural grain variations and a warm, lustrous finish that deepen its aesthetic appeal.

The table remains structurally solid, and the surface retains its original character, showing signs of age-appropriate wear that add to its authenticity and vintage charm.

The table measures 130 cm in diameter (51.2 inches) and 68.5 cm in height (27 inches), making it a striking and functional centerpiece consistent with mid-century Scandinavian design values.
