Pine Coffee Table, Roland Wilhelmsson, Sweden, 1970's
About the Item
Brutalism in its purest form, but not only !
Three large pieces of wood put together by massive dowels, the latter themselves being locked transversely by tabs. If in appearance we are closer to carpentry work than cabinetmaking, ironically the history of this creation unite these two worlds.
Indeed, little information circulates about Roland Wilhelmsson, it is therefore difficult to clearly define the history of his creations, but it is by listening to the story of the first owners of his furniture and through the internet pages in Swedish, that we finally manage to perceive reality after cross-referencing the information collected.
More than just thick sections of pine, this coffee table actually contains the soul of the old Klara district in Stockholm where today only the large St. Clare Church and a handful of other illustrious buildings remain, the rest having been demolished from 1952, in favor of more modern buildings.
If you haven't made the connection yet, it's very simple, the table would be made of demolition wood coming directly from this neighborhood, if we believe the former owners. Perhaps a way of paying homage to this place by immortalizing it in its achievements.
Roland Wilhelmsson designed his creations himself in Ågesta in Sweden and signed them by hand. He subsequently worked with the company Karl Andersson & Söner to produce his furniture and distribute it more widely.

Roland Wilhelmsson “Kvadrat” Coffee Table, Sweden 1970s
By Roland Wilhelmsson
Located in Utrecht, NL
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...
