Description
Laminated disc with aluminum edge and chromed metal legs. Table with two insert plates. Length 150+50+50 cm. Width 100 cm. Height 72 cm.
Bruno Mathsson was a Swedish furniture designer and architect, while Piet Hein was a Danish writer, mathematician and designer. Together they created the “Superelipse” table, which is an iconic furniture design. The inspiration came from the design of Sergels torg in Stockholm, where Hein had created a superellipse as the basic shape. Mathsson saw the drawings and saw the potential in the form to create a table.
The “Superelipse” table has a unique and distinctive shape, combining the geometric features of an ellipse and a rectangle. It has softly rounded corners and a slim profile, giving it a modern and elegant aesthetic. The table is known for its simple and timeless design, and it has become a popular choice in both private homes and public settings.
The table was conceived in 1964 but it was not until 1968 before production started at Danish furniture manufacturer Fritz Hansen. The table continues to be in production today.
