Norwegian Wood

We’ve got 13 different Richard Blow-designed tables in our Society database.

When I first saw this one, the Beatles song “Norwegian Wood” popped into my brain. As a suburban American teenager growing up in the early 1960s, I always associate that song with European sophistication, a casual love affair.

I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

The table evokes in me the same “cooll cat” vibe, with its clean, cream stone, sculpted brass legs, and stylishly arranged rows of pointed pyramids.

It sold in March 2013 for $5,625, and is logged in our master catalogue under the boring MSID title “White, Four-Row Pyramid Table” But it will always be ‘cool” to me.
