About the Item

Tabletop and legs in smoke stained oak (H50cm) Evja, designed by Torbjørn Bekken in 1958, is a family of lounge tables characterized by an organic, almost floating expression. With its sculptural form and carefully considered proportions, the design demonstrates Bekken’s ability to transform a functional piece of furniture into something remarkably light and elegant. What makes Evja particularly distinctive is the continuous relationship between the tabletop and its legs. A long, uninterrupted curve flows from the edge of the table down towards the floor, gradually narrowing as it descends. There are few visual interruptions, giving the table a sense of movement and making its substantial wooden construction appear surprisingly weightless. The effect is almost like a ballerina lightly balancing on her toes. Bekken graduated from the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in 1946 and joined the progressive furniture and interior design practice Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor shortly afterwards, where he would spend most of his career. His work can be characterized by technical precision, attention to detail and an understated elegance—all qualities clearly expressed in Evja. The value of Evja lies in the apparent simplicity of a form that requires considerable precision and craftsmanship to achieve. Its carefully shaped transitions and refined detailing allow the natural qualities of the wood to take centre stage, while the organic construction gives the table a distinctive sculptural identity from every angle. More than sixty years after it was designed, Evja retains a remarkably contemporary character. It is both a functional lounge table and a sculptural piece of Norwegian design history—a 1958 design where technical precision and craftsmanship come together in an exceptionally graceful form.
