Smoking Table

Designed Anonymous, for Svenska Möbelfabriken Bodafors,

Sweden, 1930s

A refined example of Swedish furniture from the 1930s, this round smoking table was produced by Svenska Möbelfabriken Bodafors. Its cylindrical form is supported by four straight legs and features a lacquered or ebonised apron paired with a warm‑toned inner shelf, creating a subtle contrast of materials and finish. The piece embodies the clarity and restraint of early Scandinavian modern design, while offering the modest functionality characteristic of the era.

This table reflects Bodafors’ engagement in Swedish modernism: simplifying form, using veneer and laminate materials (bonded birch), and offering functional yet thoughtfully proportioned furniture suitable for contemporary interiors.
