Folke Ohlsson for Bodafors vintage coffee table
Folke Ohlsson was a prolific Swedish designer who worked with beloved Nordic manufacturers like Fritz Hansen, Bodafors, and Dux and was especially in-demand throughout the 1950s and ’60s. (He’s credited with helping popularize Scandinavian furniture in midcentury America.) This teak-and-oak table produced in 1962 by Bodafors neatly summarizes Ohlsson’s sensibility: timeless, forward-thinking, and simple at once.

This multipurpose planter can do it all. It’s made of powder-coated metal, so it works indoors or outdoors and comes in various shades, from earthy and subdued to bold and vibrant. The electric-blue plant box will add splashy color to any balcony or living room corner, just in time for summer.
