A Rare Tapio Wirkkala Rhythmic Veneer Coffee Table Model 9018, Asko 1950s

A rare version of the Tapio Wirkkala rhythmic veneer coffee table model 9018, aka “Angel Wings” due to the symmetric wong resembling rhythmic lines on top. The legs are detachable and can be easily screwed on or off for storage, without the need for any tools.

The table is in beautiful original condition with original lacquered surface. Manufacturers stamp to the bottom.
Tapio Wirkkala started generating and enhancing this rhythmic veneer technique in the 1940s with the “Soinne Oy” veneer factory. The thin outer surface of the veneer layer or plywood was enhanced in such a way that the direction and angel of the veneer produced 3 dimenssional patterns and leaf like oval figures. Asko eventually bought the rights to these techniques and started producing a number of different furnitures using it, and for a few years only starting in 1957. The table is in beautiful original condition with original lacquered surface. Manufacturers stamp to the bottom.

The legs can be disassembled by simply unscrewing them off. That allows us to offer free shipping on this item.
