Bruno Mathsson Accodian Table

















One of the greatest tables ever!

The form and functionality of this table cannot be beat. Whether you live in a small apartment or have a home with a large family this table has multiple size variations. It can be opened up to nearly 7 feet long or folded up and tucked away in a small closet out of the way.

It is a Bruno original with stamp. Overall in very good condition with minor wear.

Dimensions: height: 71.12 cm (28 1/2) depth: 88.9 cm (35 1/2) width/length: 200.66 cm (6 ft. 7 in.)

Bruno Mathsson was a Swedish designer and architect who, like with this table, focused on functionalism and modernism. He had a passion for building furniture, especially chairs. He developed a special building technique for wooden chairs where the components were bent and glued under the action of hot water. Some of his other well know pieces include: Grasshopper (1931), Mimat (1932), The Eva Chair (1935), Swivel chair (1939-1940)
