Designed by Folke Ohlsson for Tingströms in the 1960s, this coffee table is part of the "Frisco" series from the Swedish Bra Bohag line. Crafted from teak, it features a linear structure topped by a square top with rounded corners and two slightly raised edges. This subtle relief breaks up the flat surface and gives the table a distinctive profile without the need for additional decorative elements. The four straight, rectangular legs are connected on both sides by horizontal crosspieces located at the bottom. The crosspieces' connections to the legs are highlighted on the outside by small oval inserts in darker wood, a visible construction detail that also creates a subtle color contrast with the teak. The "Frisco" series, developed by Ohlsson for Tingströms and marketed under the Bra Bohag brand, is characterized by clean lines and meticulous attention to construction details. This coffee table expresses this aesthetic in the raised profile of the top, the rounded corners, and the exposed joints of the crosspieces: a few well-defined elements that enrich the geometry of the structure and enhance the craftsmanship and warm tones of the teak. Good condition. May show signs of aging. Please refer to the photographs carefully. This piece has an attribution mark,
