"Frisco" teak side table, Folke Ohlsson for Tingströms, 1960s

Swedish teak side table designed by Folke Ohlsson for Tingströms, Bra Bohag line. "Frisco" model, 1960s. Designed by Folke Ohlsson for Tingströms in the 1960s, this side table belongs to the "Frisco" series from the Swedish Bra Bohag line. Made of teak, it features a linear structure topped by a square surface with rounded corners and two slightly raised opposite edges. This subtle relief breaks up the flat surface and gives the top a distinctive profile without the addition of decorative elements. The four straight, rectangular-section legs are connected on two sides by horizontal stretchers positioned in the lower part of the structure. The joints between the stretchers and the legs are highlighted externally by small oval inserts in darker wood, a visible construction detail that also creates a subtle chromatic contrast with the teak. The "Frisco" series, developed by Ohlsson for Tingströms and marketed under the Bra Bohag name, is characterized by clean lines and particular attention to construction details. In this side table, this approach can be seen in the raised profile of the top, the rounded corners and the exposed stretcher joints: a small number of carefully defined elements that enrich the geometry of the structure while highlighting the craftsmanship and warm tones of the teak. Good condition. It may show some signs of age and use. Please pay close attention to the photographs. AF1032
