The "Maria Flap" folding table, designed by Bruno Mathsson and produced by Firma Karl Mathsson, bears the original stamped hallmark and dated 1969.

The design reflects the philosophy of Mathsson, a central figure in postwar Swedish modernism, known for his research into ergonomics, structural lightness, and domestic functionality.
