Vintage Tripod Side Teak and Copper Table by Albert Larsson for Alberts Tibro, 1950s

A striking example of Scandinavian mid-century design, this vintage tripod side table was designed by Albert Larsson and manufactured by Alberts Tibro in Sweden during the late 1950s–1960s.

The circular top is beautifully balanced by a sculptural three-legged base, crafted in coppered metal and terminating in distinctive ball feet. This combination of warm timber and industrial material gives the piece its unmistakable “atomic” character — playful yet refined.

Compact in scale but rich in personality, the table was originally conceived as a functional, flat-pack design and has since become one of Larsson’s most recognisable creations. Its light footprint and elegant proportions make it ideal as a side table, occasional table, or statement accent piece.

Dimensions:

Diameter: 39 cm.
Height: 46 cm.

Restoration Details

The table has been fully restored with care. The wooden top has been refinished to enhance its natural grain and depth, while the copper base has been gently cleaned and polished, preserving a light, authentic patina consistent with age.

Condition

Excellent vintage condition. Minor signs of age-related wear may remain, particularly to the metal base, adding character without detracting from the overall appearance or functionality of the piece.

🧡 Why It Stands Out

An iconic piece of Scandinavian modern design, this table perfectly captures the optimism and experimentation of the mid-century period. The contrast between the warm top and the copper base, paired with the playful ball feet, makes it an instant conversation starter — compact, collectible, and effortlessly stylish.
