About the Item

Bruno Mathsson (designer) Karl Mathsson, Värnamo, Sweden (manufacturer) 'Annika' low table, designed 1936. Curly birch top on laminated birch legs. Stamped to underside 'MADE IN SWEDEN' Rare original early version in good un-restored condition. This is believed to date from the very early production, soon after the design was exhibited for the first time at the Röhsska Museum, Sweden in 1936. Condition note: The table is in original, un-restored condition. Structurally excellent. There are general marks in accordance with age. The top has a few areas where the surface has become slightly rough and lost its smooth finish. Restoration note: With early original items such as this we feel it is good to leave in un-restored condition where possible, to allow purchasers to decide on the level of restoration, or whether to leave in as-is original condition. Dims.: diameter 65cm, height 37.5cm; weight: 4kg

Table Annika Designed by Bruno Mathsson for Karl Mathsson, Sweden, 1936

Located in Stockholm, SE
Table Annika designed by Bruno Mathsson for Karl Mathsson, Sweden. 1936. Elm top and birch legs. Measurements: H: 65 cm / 2' 2" D: 95 cm / 3' 1 7/8" This round “Annika” occasional table was manufactured in 1967 and designed in 1936; it is made of birch with a smooth Oregon pine top. Bruno Mathsson created various iterations of his “Annika” model — they come in three shapes with different wood combinations and various heights. They can be round with three legs, square with four legs, or rectangular with six legs, allowing exciting and contrasting combinations when grouped. While the design aesthetic is delicate, the table is very well-made because of the strong plywood. Bruno Mathsson’s love for nature pervades all his designs — he frequently slept outside in the forest or his garden on a specially designed foldable bed. His furniture shapes, particularly the legs, bring bull's horns or insects to mind. Mathsson was one of the most important Swedish designers of the 20th century. He was a contemporary of Alvar Aalto and Marcel Breuer, all of whom had already experimented with bent plywood during the 1930s. Karl Mathsson, Bruno Mathsson's father, was the fifth generation in a family of master cabinet makers. He owned a furniture manufacturing company that produced the earlier pieces; later, they founded "Mathsson International”. The stamp indicates the manufacturing date and, sometimes, the design date. Bruno Mathsson often gave his furniture Swedish woman...
