About the Item
Ingeniously designed to extend in length and height so it can function as a console, dining and coffee table. The stained birch hinged rectangular top opens to dining table length; supported on a black-lacquered adjustable square columnar base on a rectangular plinth base. A ratchet system allows seven different height options.
Otto Leonard Wretling (1876-1971)was a Swedish visual artist, designer, painter and furniture manufacturer. He is best known for the Ideal Table, patented in 1936. Together with his brother Wilhelm (1871–1951), Otto Wretling took over his father's painting company in 1897. The business was expanded in 1905 with furniture carpentry. The brother later withdrew, but Otto Wretling continued - first on his own and then with the help of the children - to run the company Otto Wretling for modern room art, which had a studio and workshops in central Umeå. The company was active until 1969. In addition to being a manufacturer, Otto Wretling was the company's first designer. The company designed its furniture but also placed orders.
