"Condor" Coffee Table by Fredrik Schriever Abeln for Örebro Glas, Sweden, 1960s
About the Item
Swedish designer, Fredrik Schriever-Abeln’s designs have become quite sought after only in the past years. This is in part due to the beloved design of this “Condor” table being misattributed to Illum Wikkelsø until recently.
The distinctive “X” shaped teak base defines this coffee table holding a glass top. The solid wood base is sculpted to perfection, the level of woodwork and precise joinery technique greatly shows off the skills of the craftsman. The structure is made with minimal joinery, the glass top is held solely by the carved “arms”, while the stretcher is joined to the legs with mortise and tenon joints. The balance of the size of the glass top and wooden parts praise the designer’s vision. The modern aesthetic shows that this table - like the Condor chairs - are from the more mature, later part of the mid-century modern era. At the same time, with a clear statement of simplicity, quality and respect for materials, this table is a great example of the Swedish Modern design era as well. The wood’s surface is perfectly smooth, and the edges rounded mimicking the glass. The result is a flowing, sculpted look that makes a clear statement.
This model also exists with a smoked glass top, however this version with clear glass shows off the elaborate teak base more, allowing the structure to remain visible from every angle. Being Fredrik Schriever Abeln’s most famous design, this coffee table is guaranteed to stand out in any space.

- Carl Malmsten "Samsas" Coffee Table for Åfors Möbelfabrik AB, Sweden, 1960sBy Carl MalmstenLocated in Utrecht, NL“All edges must be thoroughly broken”, Carl Malmsten often wrote in his drawings. It was nature that was his great source of inspiration and in nature there are hardly any sharp edges or corners. This “Samsas” table is one of the greatest examples of this sentiment. This elegant table was designed as part of the 'Samsas' series of seating models and this rare table. Neither the light, the eye nor the person likes to turn against sharp corners, Malmsten explained once. Therefore, edges should be rounded so that they become friendlier to touch and look at. Carl Malmsten was not only one of Sweden's most famous furniture designers, he was also one of the last century's great cultural personalities with a strong influence on the home environment, public environment and the contemporary public debate. His personality shines through the design of this round coffee table as well. The design is dominated by the round tabletop with a spectacular sunburst pattern. The sunburst design or figure was commonly used in architectural ornaments and design patterns; it consists of rays or "beams" radiating out from a central point in the manner of sunbeams. To support the top are four straight legs with impeccable joinery that is visible under the tabletop. Since this table was made in the heyday of the mid-century, the legs, and the design as a whole lacks heavy ornamentation and instead focuses on the natural beauty of wood and the rounded edges. Carl Malmsten’s design was materialized by Swedish manufacturer, Åfors Möbelfabrik AB...Category
