This small table has an elegant and simple structure, purely Mid-century style. Its design continues to develop the purification of the modern style while incorporating more sophisticated elements, soft lines and curves that recover a certain formal organicism, a characteristic that is fundamental in the curved accents that finish off the sides and in the very slight narrowing of the legs that provides weightlessness to the tray. The use of teak wood ennobles the piece that manages to stand out to accentuate any room.

Interior designer and architect Axel Larsson had a long and fruitful 30-year collaboration with Swedish manufacturer Svenska Möbelfabrikerna i Bodafors. His work as an interior designer includes projects of great international significance, such as the Gothenburg concert hall and the UN building in New York.
