Tapio Wirkkala Rhythmic Veneer Coffee Table with Metal & Brass Legs, Asko 1950s

A rare version of the Tapio Wirkkala rhythmic veneer coffee table model 9018 with the original nickled brass legs. 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 dimensional patterns and leaf like oval figures. Asko eventually bought the rights to these techniques and started producing a number of different furniture 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, as the transportation will be reasonably priced.
