Product description

CALVERT is from a series of coffee tables, designed in 1951 by Ferdinand Kramer® during his time in America. Part of his successful "Knock-Down" furniture series, the square CALVERT is an enduring and modern piece. The easily invertible and collapsible coffee table consists of a tabletop and two crossing invertible sheets serving as a base for the table. Similar to a clothing pattern, the components of the table are cut out of a single plywood sheet. The intrinsically simple cut out base of CALVERT reveals a sculptural quality to the table. Available in oak or walnut veneer as well as coloured lacquer, CALVERT is ideally suited for diverse environments and complements the e15 collection.
