Dux of Sweden Coffee and Cocktail Tables

Swedish

Today, Swedish manufacturer DUX’s most popular furniture lines — as well as the furnishings created by its first president, Folke Ohlsson — are synonymous with the work that vintage mid-century modern design obsessives love. Also important, the brand is known for some of the most commonplace means of furniture shipping and production in the modern era.

In Sweden, Studio Ljungs Industrier AB is the large family-owned parent company of Duxiana (in America, DUX). Initially a purveyor of bedding that is today celebrated for its ergonomically guided designs, Ljungs Industrier was founded by entrepreneur (and chocolate maker) Efraim Ljung in 1926. In 1950, Folke Ohlsson, then leading Ljungs Industrier’s design team, decamped to the States to explore how he could expand DUX’s business, which at that point included a wide range of furniture. Ohlsson established a DUX office not long after he arrived in California, first in San Francisco and later in Burlingame.

On the West Coast, the booming postwar American market was eager to embrace DUX’s affordable and practical bedroom furnishings, tables, armchairs and other seating. Characterized by sleek walnut and teak frames and low-slung silhouettes, the brand’s designs were emblematic of a generation of Scandinavian modernism that had gained popularity owing to visionaries such as product designer and architect Greta Magnusson-Grossman, who arrived in California from Sweden a decade prior to Ohlsson, and Finn Juhl, who created a Danish modern line for Michigan’s Baker Furniture Company in 1951.

DUX frequently collaborated with top-tier furniture design talent — among them Bruno Mathsson, Edward Wormley and Alf Svensson, a chief designer in the Malmö, Sweden, office of Ljungs Industrier — expanding the brand’s portfolio and establishing credibility as a design source. Ohlsson’s own designs, such as his comfortable leather lounges and wool-upholstered reclining rocking chairs, continue to be among the brand’s most desirable — and most imitated — however.

In 1949, DUX put into practice an idea that Ohlsson patented for the so-called “knock-down,” or “KD,” chair, a term referencing easy, flat-pack assembly. It saved DUX space in warehouses and money on transportation and was a concept that would provide inspiration to hundreds of subsequent companies — most notably fellow Swedish brand IKEA.

Today, vintage DUX sofas and dining chairs are valuable collector’s items. Find this coveted seating and other authentic DUX furniture on 1stDibs.

Jens Quistgaard Side Table for DUX of Sweden (Two Available)
By Jens Quistgaard, Dux of Sweden
Located in San Diego, CA
Beautiful side table designed by Jens Harald Quistgaard for DUX, 1950s, in teak. We have two available. Price is per table. The exquisitely shaped wood top can be removed and used a tray or function as a decorative bowl, with one side being flat and the other being curved. The sculptor Jens Harald Quistgaard worked with solid wood, often glueing cut blocks together before carving the individual components. He achieved the tray’s round motif by using various layers and multiple grain structures, making the piece both decorative and incredibly sturdy. Whether you are looking for a unique side table set up or wanting a matching side table for your accent chairs, the versatileness of these tables make them the best option for any space. Dimensions: 17.25"H x 19.5" Diameter About the Designer: The postwar-era work of Danish sculptor and designer Jens Harald Quistgaard is still exceedingly popular in living rooms in the United States, Europe and Japan, particularly in the homes of midcentury design enthusiasts. Having created serving pieces and barware for Dansk Designs for 30 years, Quistgaard produced striking Scandinavian modernist designs that married function with striking, sophisticated form. After demonstrating artistic talent at a young age, Quistgaard was gifted a forge and anvil so that he could work in his mother’s kitchen. He built toys, jewelry and hunting knives under his father’s tutelage. Later, he spent years learning from local artisans how to produce wood, metal, ceramic and glass models. Quistgaard’s career path solidified during his apprenticeship as a silversmith with legendary Danish silver firm Georg Jensen. By 1954, Quistgaard had become known for his designs in Denmark when American entrepreneur and businessman, Ted Nierenberg, discovered his work. The two formed a partnership to mass-produce Quistgaard’s wares in New York while the designer remained in Copenhagen. The long-distance relationship flourished for three decades, during which millions of Quistgaard pieces were manufactured in the factories of Dansk Designs, Nierenberg’s company. Owing primarily to the partnership between Dansk Designs and Quistgaard, many Americans became familiar with Scandinavian modernism. In the postwar era, American tastemakers sold the citizenry...

Questions About Dux of Sweden Coffee and Cocktail Tables
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024
    Royal Dux doesn't have a meaning. It is a shortened name for the company Duxer Porzellanmanufaktur. A member of the Czech Porcelain Group, Royal Dux has produced its brand of figural and decorative porcelain works since 1853. Model expert Eduard Eichler established the company in Duchov, Bohemia, in 1860 and ran Royal Dux Bohemia until his death in 1887, recreating historical designs from England, Denmark and France. At the start of the 20th century, the company enjoyed remarkable success thanks to the work of the designer Alois Hampel. The company enjoyed a renaissance in 1958 owing to the display of Jaroslav Ježek's collection at the World Exhibition in Brussels that year. In 1992, the Duchov factory rebranded itself as Royal Dux. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Royal Dux porcelain.
