Well
in construction they remind me a bit of luxus, but that's swedish. I don't know what your looking for, exactly, Simon?
A lot of these things were in-house designs, no?
I've noticed many norwegian and even finish designs are hard to attribute..

Thanks for
the info so far.
I am hoping for someone who might be able to show some documentation for these in form of catalogue or old advert so I can ID them correctly.
They are made in Norway and marked. See image below

I saw three of these tables in a German online auction some years ago, -might have been at Quittenbaum. There was also one table with a blue top I think.
No idea about the designer though. At the time, I remember thinking about Panton, but I guess they would've been more well known if they were his design...

Simon, hopefully this will...
Simon, hopefully this will help a bit more than my previous wild guess. From the book "Design Pa Norsk" a whole section on the manufacturer "PLUS". My Norwegian is non-existent but perhaps you or someone else can read it. If it might be helpful, there are three more pages of text about the company with plenty of names and info. Notice on the top right of one of the attached pages is a table by Hermann Bongard...with a similar wire base. I'm happy to scan and email you the entire section of the book tomorrow.

Hermann Bongard
Hermann Bongard was born in 1921, and was educated at the National College of Applied Art in Oslo from1938-41, before being attached to the Christiania Glasmagasin/Hadelands Glassverk as a designer from 1947-55. He then became an advisor to Figgio Fajanse from 1957-63, and art director at Plus-Workshops in Fredrikstad from 1960-64. Later, he was chief design advisor to J.W. Cappelens publishing firm from 1966-68, and from 1971, senior teacher at the graphic design department of the National College of Applied Art. He took gold and silver medals at the Milan Triennial in 1954.
Hermann Bongard started out as a glassworker and engraver for Christiania, where he later developed a number of art glass pieces, as well as a few series of drinking glasses, such as Hermann, Ambassador, Liqueur and Tullik. Hermann was an incredibly versatile designer, however, and it was at Figgio Fajansefabrik that he would design a number of fireproof dishes and tableware, a beautiful supple form to the materials used.

remaining pages
Hi Jesgord
Did you manage to scan the remaining pages as I have read what is scanned so far but am left hanging for the remining.
It tells of how the norwegians set up plus as a result of wanting not to be left off the wave of scandinavian design which was sweeping the world.
PLUS would be the resource holder for designers and manufacturers alike to have a single partner in knowhow and products where pick and chose between designs would enable the Norwegian industry to become more efficient and the designers to havetheir products made.
thats a quick summary so far
