TABLE SERIES

PIET HEIN, BRUNO MATHSSON, ARNE JACOBSEN

The table series includes the Super-Elliptical, the Super-Circular, designed by Piet Hein and Bruno Mathsson and circular, square and rectangular tables designed by Arne Jacobsen. The most prominent member of the series, the Super-Elliptical table, was inspired by the designer Piet Hein's solution to a traffic problem at Sergels Torg in Stockholm: A super elliptical roundabout. The ingenious shape was conceived in his mathematical mind. This variation of an oval possessed some attractive qualities and looked surprisingly harmonious no matter the size. The formula based shape has no ends and this is why the Super-Elliptical table can be seen as a democratic table where everyone has an equal position. Piet Hein, Bruno Mathsson and Arne Jacobsen contributed to the base design of all the tables. The tables come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. With very few exceptions the tables are all available in 3 finishes: laminate, veneer and linoleum. Depending on the shape of the table there is a choice of 3 types of bases: span legs in chromed or satin chromed steel (design Piet Hein and Bruno Mathsson), 4 or 6 star base in satin polished aluminium foot and a satin chromed steel pedstal, or shaker base in satin polished aluminium (design Arne Jacobsen).
