Book crib by Bruno Mathsson for Firma Karl Mathsson, Sweden, 1964
€4.000
Elegant book crib designed by Bruno Mathsson, executed in bent birch with softly sculpted edges and characteristic curved legs. The geometric body is divided into three compartments, creating a practical and visually balanced storage solution for books, magazines, or records. The design reflects Mathsson’s signature approach, combining lightness, functionality, and refined craftsmanship. The angled sides and raised form give the piece a sculptural presence while maintaining a sense of openness and clarity typical of Scandinavian modernism. The birch displays a warm tone and subtle grain, complemented by the flowing bentwood legs that lift the structure gracefully from the floor.
