This table was wedding gift from Carl Bergsten and his students to Astrid and Ernst Lundberg in 1906. Carl Bergsten (1879-1935) was a leading Swedish twentieth century architect. His career moved from an association with the arts and crafts style to a major role in the development of the Swedish Grace design movement which found inspiration in a modern Neoclassicism of a retrained and elegant form. For a time in the 1920's he headed the Nordiska Kompaniet innovative modern furniture department.A similar table is illustrated by Bonnie Festins, Carl Bergsten: An Architect and His Forms, Norrköpings Stadsmuseum, 2005, s. 1/3.
