Josef Frank dining table

This rare dining table, model 1020, was designed by Josef Frank and produced by Svenskt Tenn in Sweden during the 1960s. The design combines Frank’s characteristic organic modernism with exquisite craftsmanship and rich materiality.

The tabletop is executed in highly figured amboyna root veneer, displaying a deep, complex grain pattern that gives the surface a warm golden tone and exceptional visual depth. The veneer’s natural variations create a vivid, almost topographical texture that reflects light softly across its surface.

The base, crafted in solid cherry, features Frank’s signature sculptural approach—four gently curved legs that intersect seamlessly at the center, providing both structural stability and an elegant sense of movement. The table’s circular form reinforces the designer’s focus on sociability and harmony, a recurring theme in his work for Svenskt Tenn.

This piece exemplifies Josef Frank’s philosophy of combining refined form with natural beauty, where materials are celebrated rather than concealed. It represents the timeless elegance of Swedish modern design, balancing craftsmanship and artistic freedom.

The table remains in good vintage condition with light signs of use consistent with age and retains a beautiful original finish.
