Description
Designed by Roland Wilhelmsson, this “Kvadrat” table is from the era when Swedish design and culture started attracting design-conscious international buyers on a large scale. The model’s design is dated to 1972, and this particular table was manufactured in Huskvarna, where the manufactory still operates, for more than four generations now.
Swedish furniture and interior design culture went through dramatic changes during the 1970s. The effects of the late 1960s’ rebellious view of design, production and consumption had an impact in the form of freer furnishings and resource-efficient furniture in simpler materials. In the mid-1970s, rustic pine furniture often in oversized dimensions - such as this table - suddenly became the highest fashion. Therefore, the local and resource-efficient craft received a renaissance. This “Kvadrat” coffee table has a look that is rustic, crisp, and geometric at the same time, which is a rare feat to behold. Essentially made of five rectangular solid pine parts, the structure is very minimalistic at first sight. It is so paired down and minimal, that it is as close to perfection as any piece of furniture can be. With minimalism comes timelessness, a guarantee that this coffee table will never go out of style. Organic and natural materials often take pride of place in Scandinavian design, reflecting the Scandinavian and Nordic countries’ relationship to nature. The solid pine wood of this table is not overworked, its natural grain stands out and serves as ornamentation in itself.
Karl Andersson & Söner has been manufacturing quality, designer furniture since 1898. Karl Andersson was known for his creativity, boundless enthusiasm and dynamism, and solemnly undertook to manufacture nothing but "well-made furniture, durable and sustainable". Combining a stark and precise minimalism with a high degree of functionality, this Kvadrat coffee table can be introduced into any environment, either by blending in amongst an overall minimalist interior or standing out as an interesting contrast to something more maximalist or periodic.
