Dining Table

History:
The Väggaskolan secondary school in Karlshamn, Blekinge, was Gunnar Asplund’s first major architectural commission, built between 1912 and 1918. Asplund not only designed the building itself but also created its furnishings, demonstrating great attention to detail throughout the project. In a letter dated August 24, 1915, he proposed designing the school’s furniture, which was subsequently produced by local craftsmen based on his drawings. Interestingly, the design of this particular table was originally intended for Gotthard Dieden, who had commissioned furniture for the Swedish Railway Board in 1917. Asplund designed a similar table for Dieden, but when he left the Railway Board as early as 1918, the table was never realised. Towards the final stages of the Väggaskolan project, it became necessary to furnish certain rooms with more distinctive, characterful pieces, rather than the standard school furniture. It is likely that Asplund seized this opportunity to adapt and repurpose his earlier designs for Dieden, incorporating them into the interiors of the Karlshamn school.

Three tables were made for the Swedish arts and crafts exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum in New York in 1927. After the successes in Paris in 1925, Sweden as the only nation was invited for the first time to participate in an art industry exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts in New York. The exhibition opened January 17 in the presence of H.K.H. Prince Wilhelm and Sweden's envoy to Washington, the envoy Wolman Boström. The exhibition was a success and in SSF's Tidskrift (Form) 1927 Gregor Paulsson writes that "According to information, no exhibition has had such publicity in the daily New York newspapers. The number of visitors was very large. The highest number of visitors in one day was before my return trip 6000 people, which is a record at the Metropolitan Museum. " Invitations later came to move the exhibit to other cities in the United States, including Detroit and Chicago. After the Stockholm Exhibition in 1930, where one of the tables was exhibited, the tables have not been seen in any major context. This table was disassembled and the parts were scattered.

Unique Dining Table

History:
The idea behind the hexagonal and three-legged design was that several tables could be placed next to each other, without the table legs getting in the way of the people seated at the tables. Poul Henningsen designed this one table and had it produced by a cabinetmaker with the intention of putting it into serial production. This never happened though, and this is thus the only piece ever made.
