Fir and Jacaranda Scandinavian Modern Coffee Table

About the Item

A carefully crafted table made of fir and jacaranda, with exotic jacaranda veneers, the working surface rests on a solid, slightly detailed frame of solid jacaranda. The clean design, paired with the fiery Jacaranda, creates a healthy balance of avant-garde and simplicity. Brazilian designers in the 1950s and 1960s introduced the rich patinas of their native rainforest woods and grasses into modern design. Until recently Brazilian pieces were, and have remained, relatively scarce in European galleries and even in the US, following the restrictive export policies that coincided with this prolific design period in Brazil. This resulted in the beautiful, thin veneer being smuggled out of the country and sold to Europeans, in this case Swedes, hoping to achieve the popular and distinctly moody, modern design.
