Yes, definitely inspired by the Nelson Swag Leg, but in kicks the pants off of it in my opinion. This looks fresh whereas the Swag Leg is showing its age.
@ Alex : thank you for your post. My table is strongly inspired by George Nelson but if you have a closer look to it, it’s pretty different. I mixed the traditional danish woodworking with the use of 50’s colours. The form is almost a classic desk from the fifties, created by Pierre Paulin, George Nelson etc.; whats new is that its cases go deeper, you can take out the cases and open it from above. But it’s really a homage to George Nelson, that’s why our collection is called Remix.
Thanks for all the great comments … and yes our mom is working for the family business :-)
I’m curious to discover out what blog system you are utilizing? I’m having some small security issues with my latest internet site and I would like to locate something a lot more risk-free. Do you have any recommendations?

Does anyone know what those chairs are? Lovely

Nice, but hardly an original design — it’s basically a rustic version of the classic Herman Miller Nelson Swag Leg Desk (http://www.hermanmiller.com/Products/Nelson-Swag-Leg-Desk-and-Tables).

@Kate: They’re Eames Plastic Chairs.
I just wrote them, asking for a price, and it really is a family business – waiting for the designers mom to reply with a price list. I love this.

Thanks!
