Provenance and Background Info

NOTE- This description was written back in 2006. I’d write it a bit differently in 2019 but decided to keep the description as it was written back then as I couldn’t be bothered writing it from scratch again!)

A nest of 3 Coachwood and Walnut side tables by Melbourne firm, Kalmar Furniture. Kalmar copied this design from English company, G-Plan Furniture and did extremely well with it (as the photos show). I don’t mind even saying that these are better than the G-Plan tables. I sold a G-Plan nest a couple of years ago and these are better built and I really like the striking contrast in the timbers used. This set has an exceptionally fluid style with the curves and circular shapes- rarely seen in timber furniture. Kalmar Furniture produced these in the 1960’s and not too many were sold because of the expense involved in producing them. If something like this design was ever re-released today, this set of three tables would warrant a hefty retail price-tag- I’d say around $1000-$1200 AT LEAST. (If it’s quality you want, you’re not going to find much better than these). This authentic VINTAGE suite has very strong investment appeal because of the original KALMAR stamp and should only increase in value over time. These are bound to be tightly held onto in the future. There’s no better way to invest in your home and reduce landfill.
