Super-Circular™ table

Table Series™

The Table Series™, designed by Piet Hein, Bruno Mathsson, and Arne Jacobsen, is one of the most celebrated collections in modern Danish furniture. At its core is the Super-Elliptical™ Table, inspired by Piet Hein’s innovative solution to a traffic problem at Sergels Torg in Stockholm. Based on the mathematical formula for a super ellipse, the design results in a harmonious shape that feels balanced and pleasing in any size. With no ends, the Super-Elliptical™ offers a democratic seating arrangement, where everyone has an equal place at the table. The series also includes Super-Circular™, circular, square, and rectangular tables, all with bases designed in collaboration with Bruno Mathsson and Arne Jacobsen.
