About the Item

Primitive tripod table. France, late 1940s. Sculptural and distinctive, these three-legged “cricket tables” — a form once commonly found in rural French and British homes — are crafted from solid chestnut and assembled using traditional joinery techniques typical of rustic craftsmanship. The circular top rests on three legs, each showing visible tool marks and irregular shaping, clear signs of manual work done with traditional tools such as a drawknife or adze. The wood’s natural patina, combined with its textured surface, makes this raw and authentic piece a perfect fit for Wabi-Sabi, Brutalist, primitive, or contemporary interiors. Wear and patina consistent with age and use. Very good structural and overall condition. Finished with original period varnish. Price per unit.

Erik Gunnar Asplund, “GA9” Wall Lights for ASEA, Sweden 1940s
By ASEA, Erik Gunnar Asplund, Lisa Johansson-Pape, Hans Bergström
Located in Munster, NRW
With its organically shaped blown glass shade, especially rare in this opaline frosted glass version, the GA9 resembles a floating droplet. Designed by Swedish architect Erik Gunnar Asplund, widely regarded as the godfather of Swedish modernism, this lamp embodies his signature geometric clarity and structural ingenuity. Like his Stockholm City Library, it balances simplicity with innovation. A bent arm holds the glass, while another secures the light source at the luminaire’s center. The black lacquered metal curves organically, contrasting with polygonal backplates—an interplay of geometry and fluidity that defines Asplund’s vision. The large, mushroom-like shades diffuse light in a soft, mesmerizing glow, enhancing the atmosphere beyond mere functionality. Asplund’s influence extended to Scandinavian design icons such as Alvar Aalto, Erik Bryggman...
