Hi everybody, I have a question regarding the pictured coffee table.
Mostly it's offered as designed by Illum Wikkelsø, but sometimes it's also referred to as designed by Fredrik Schriever-Abeln.
So what could be the background of this "mystery"?

I'm not sure I know the whole story, but the table has been misattributed to Wikkelsø for many years.
Recently it was discovered by Swedish dealer Form Design Scandinavia that the table was actually designed by Fredrik Schriever-Abeln and manufactured by Örebro Glasfabrik. See link below for some images from the catalog where they found the attribution. The attribution has since been confirmed by family members of Schriever-Abeln as well as former employes at Örebro Glas.

While you wait, you could
copy and paste the text into Goolge translate. Not the most accurate solution, however you should be able to decipher the conversation.

Thanks, now I used the google translation (wow, horrible quality!), and the result seems to be that it's definitely designed by Fredrik Schriever-Abeln.
