The table is a strong example of Scandinavian modern design, where construction and form are equally important.

The softly rounded tabletop is supported by slender, tapered legs and a characteristic cross-braced structure underneath, providing both stability and a visually light appearance. This construction is typical of Fridhagen’s designs and contributes to the table’s calm yet confident presence.

Crafted from solid wood with a warm natural tone, the surface shows a well-developed, even patina. The table is in very good vintage condition. There is a small, subtle raised area running along the length of the tabletop, barely visible and only noticeable under certain lighting. This does not affect use or stability and is consistent with age and natural movement of the wood.

Thanks to its generous yet well-balanced size, this piece works perfectly as a coffee table or low table in a living room setting. It integrates easily into both modern interiors and more classic, design-focused spaces. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
