Manufacturer: Fritz Hansen | Designer: Piet Hein, Bruno Mathsson & Arne Jacobsen, 1968
Born from a Stockholm Roundabout
The Superellipse™ began not as a table but as a solution to a traffic problem. In the 1950s, Piet Hein was asked to design a roundabout for Sergels Torg in Stockholm, a space that was neither square nor circular. His answer was the superellipse: a geometric form that sits between the two, with none of the awkwardness of either. The shape proved so resolved, so naturally right, that it became a table. Available in six sizes from the compact B611 (seats 4) to the expansive B617 (seats 12), the Superellipse scales from an intimate dining room to a generous boardroom without losing its essential character, no obvious head, no hierarchy, just a table that works.
The tabletop is a 22mm laminated chipboard core, available in six Fenix laminate colours or in clear lacquered walnut veneer with a matching veneer edge. Fenix laminate tops come with a polished aluminium edge as standard, with the exception of the Black finish, which is finished with a matching ABS band for a seamless, all-black result. The span legs are available in chromed steel or five powder-coated finishes. This table holds the EU Ecolabel (EU Flower) certification, meeting the highest environmental standards across its lifecycle.
