Table series The table series includes the Super-Elliptical™, the Super-Circular™, circular, square and rectangular tables designed by Piet Hein, Bruno Mathsson, and Arne Jacobsen. The most prominent member of the series, the SuperElliptical table, was inspired by the designer Piet Hein’s solution to a traffic problem at Sergels Torg in Stockholm: A super elliptical roundabout.

The tables come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
