Description:

This table, attributed to Carl Malmsten, reflects his focus on natural forms and craftsmanship. The freeform tabletop, made from richly grained wood, highlights the beauty of the material, while the sculpted edge adds an organic touch that contrasts with the refined legs.

With four slender, slightly curved legs, the table has a light and balanced look typical of Malmsten’s work. The smooth, polished surface and carefully carved details show his belief in simple, well-made design.

Carl Malmsten (1888–1972) was a Swedish furniture designer known for his commitment to traditional craftsmanship and natural materials. Rejecting modernist trends, he created elegant, functional pieces that emphasised comfort and organic forms, leaving a lasting impact on Swedish design.
