Swedish teak and mahogany side table, 1950s

Lightweight two-tier construction with teak tops and slender splayed mahogany legs, defined by exposed screw joints. Swedish production, 1950s. Swedish side table from the 1950s in teak and mahogany, characterized by a two-tier structure supported by slender splayed legs, secured at the sides with exposed screws. The essential design and carefully considered construction reflect the functional approach of post-war Scandinavian modernism. The typology derives from the radiobord, originally created to accommodate the household radio and illustrating how Nordic design responded to the arrival of new technologies in everyday life during the 1950s. Good condition. It may show signs of age. Please pay attention to the photographs. AF584
