This elegant and rare garden table, designed by Swiss architect and designer Max Ernst Haefeli and produced by Embru Werke AG, is a refined example of Bauhaus-influenced Swiss modernism from the 1940s.

Haefeli, a key figure in Swiss functionalist architecture, was closely aligned with the principles of the Bauhaus, clarity of form, structural honesty, and purposeful design. His collaboration with Embru, a manufacturer known for durable and well-engineered furniture, resulted in pieces that were not only practical but quietly sophisticated.

The table’s design is defined by its intelligent construction. The circular top can be folded down, offering a space-saving solution without compromising visual balance. The slender central column and softly curved tubular steel legs create a light, almost architectural presence, giving the piece a sense of stability paired with elegance.

Its light blue powder-coated finish adds a fresh and contemporary character while respecting the original spirit of the design. The color interacts beautifully with natural light, making the table equally suitable for outdoor use, a terrace or garden setting, as well as indoors in a minimal or modernist interior.

This is more than a functional object, it is a thoughtful expression of mid-century European design, where every element serves a purpose and nothing is superfluous.
