Information

Rare and elegant side or sewing table attributed to Elias Svedberg, produced by Svedbergs in Sweden during the 1940s. Executed in birch with its original brown lacquered finish, the piece exemplifies the sculptural sensitivity and craftsmanship associated with Swedish modernism of the era.

The form is defined by gracefully curved legs that converge in a fluid, organic motion — a hallmark of Svedberg’s architectural approach to furniture. The hinged top opens to reveal a cleverly compartmentalized interior designed for storage and organization, reflecting the period’s emphasis on both form and function. The red lacquered compartments add a refined visual contrast to the warm tone of the birch.

This piece remains in good vintage condition with signs of usage and a charming patina consistent with age. A distinctive and collectible example of Scandinavian design, balancing utility with sculptural elegance.

Dimensions are 52.5 × 36 × 68 cm (20.7 × 14.2 × 26.8 in)
