A triangular coffee table in elm, produced by Nordiska Kompaniet in Sweden during the 1940—50s, a fine example of Swedish Modern design. Nordiska Kompaniet was Sweden's leading department store and home to its most celebrated design workshop, and during the 1940s and 1950s its collections helped define the warm, sculptural style we now know as Swedish Modern. The softly cut triangular top has a raised, rounded edge that frames the warm, lively grain of the elm, whose honeyed tones shift beautifully with the light. The top rests on three slender, tapered legs joined by an elegant Y-shaped stretcher, giving the table a light and sculptural expression from every angle — there is something to discover whether it is seen from the sofa, the armchair or across the room. With its compact, soft-cornered form the table sits comfortably beside a sofa or armchair, yet its sculptural silhouette makes it as much at home in a modern interior as in a time-true one. It is a charming example of the Swedish Modern tradition, where clean geometry and natural materials meet. The table carries the classic NK numberplate under the table top and is marked R68438 – C38822. Very good vintage condition consistent with age and use, with minor wear and small marks, as shown in the photos. Height 62 cm, table top 60 x 68 cm.
