Plectrum Coffee Table

Paul T. Frankl Late 1940s

A brand new reproduction of the Paul T. Frankl classic

The Plectrum Coffee Table stands as one of his most distinctive mid-century designs, defined by its low profile and form resembling a guitar pick. 

Defined by its biomorphic, triangle-like shape, the Plectrum Coffee Table design sits within a modernist language often associated with Scandinavian designers such as Alvar Aalto and Kaare Klint.

Frankl’s interpretation introduces a cork top and a three-legged construction, a detail that gives the table both balance and a clear departure from conventional symmetry.

CRAFTMANSHIP

Nordiska Galleriet was founded in 1912, during the Swedish Grace era – a time that united classical ideals with modernity. The restrained elegance, the exact proportions, and the importance of craftsmanship still characterise their view on contemporary design and are reflected in the design pieces they carry today.
