Calvert Table

The Calvert Coffee Table, designed by Ferdi­nand Kramer in 1951, is a strik­ing example of mid-century modern inge­nu­ity and time­less design. Show­cas­ing a sculp­tural yet highly func­tional form, the table’s base consists of two inter­lock­ing, invert­ible sheets that support the table­top — each precisely cut from a single sheet of plywood.

Part of a broader collec­tion by the German func­tion­al­ist archi­tect Ferdi­nand Kramer, the Calvert Coffee Table reflects his pioneer­ing approach to modern flat-pack furni­ture. Designed during his time in America, it embod­ies his engage­ment with the Amer­i­can Way of Life, empha­siz­ing effi­ciency, prac­ti­cal­ity, and ease of assembly.

Produced in ½” thick oak plywood, the Calvert Table is avail­able in clear, signal white, jet black, or mint, offer­ing a versa­tile and modern aesthetic that seam­lessly inte­grates into a variety of inte­ri­ors. Its distinc­tive yet under­stated form ensures that it remains a time­less center­piece, bridg­ing mid-century design with contemporary living.
