Bearing the original manufacturer’s stamp with a 1964 marking and Bruno Mathsson’s signature, this exceptional example of Scandinavian modern design seamlessly combines sculptural elegance with ingenious functionality, transforming from a narrow console into an expansive 110-inch dining table while maintaining a remarkably light and refined silhouette.

The richly figured teak top displays striking natural grain patterns and warm reddish-brown tones, beautifully contrasted by the solid beech trestle legs. Originally designed in 1937, Mathsson’s iconic Maria table remains a celebrated example of Swedish modernism, showcasing the designer’s mastery of organic forms, traditional craftsmanship, and space-saving design. Original brass hinges complement the warm wood tones and highlight the table’s thoughtful construction.
