Description
This elegant set of three Coachwood and Australian Blackwood nest of tables, crafted by the Melbourne-based firm Kalmar Furniture, showcases the timeless beauty of these timber species. Inspired by the design from the renowned English company G-Plan Furniture, Kalmar Furniture has not only replicated but also enhanced this classic design, as evident in the captivating photos.
This particular set embodies a rare and fluid style, characterized by graceful curves and circular shapes that are seldom found in wooden furniture. Kalmar Furniture originally produced these tables during the 1960s, and their limited availability at the time was due to the considerable expense involved in crafting such exquisite pieces. If a design of this caliber were to be reintroduced today, one could easily expect a substantial retail price tag, likely in the range of $1000 to $1200, if not more. These tables are a testament to quality that is hard to surpass.
Age:
Circa 1960s
Background Information:
Kalmar Furniture, an Australian company prominent during the mid-20th century, is renowned for its contribution to the mid-century modern design movement.

Kalmar often drew inspiration from both international and local design trends, and their use of contrasting wood species like Australian Blackwood and Coachwood set their creations apart. These vintage pieces, celebrated for their enduring quality and limited production, continue to be highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of mid-century modern design.
Condition:
These tables are in excellent original condition, a testament to the meticulous care they’ve received from their owner. The small table tops have been conscientiously covered throughout their lifespan. As for the large table top, it remains in very good condition overall, with only a minor imperfection on one side. I’ve taken great care to polish this area to the best of my ability, and it’s now hardly noticeable.
