Danish Cabinetmaker Rectangular Exotic Wood Coffee Table, Denmark 1960s
-
Description
Danish furniture design possesses a homely tone in nature and character. The best works are characterized by the will to produce genuine, technical workmanship, a sound critical attitude to untimely modernism. There is also a natural desire to take up the problems for renewed investigation and solutions in accordance to the exigencies of the times.
Thanks to these characteristics and attitudes, Danish pieces like this coffee table have an outstanding balance with a classic, timeless design. With a clear statement of simplicity, quality and respect for materials, this table is a great example of Danish Modern design. The rectangular tabletop is made of exotic wood, yet it has a light impression. The large surface shows off the pattern of the wood, including diverse swirls and a large colour variety ranging from light to dark brown. Countering the restrained shape of the top, the legs, and feet have an intricate structure with gently rounded edges. The feet are connected thus the look resembles the sledge style. The standout feature however, is the pair of brass braces; this diagonal reinforcement is not only an important structural feature, it is also a visually appealing detail that gives character to this coffee table. Looking beneath the top, the elaborate wooden structure becomes visible, showing the cabinetmaker’s expert skill and knowledge.
The combination of the beautiful exotic wood and the brass creates the modern look that Danish Mid-Century design is coveted for. The quality of the execution leaves no questions behind, making this table a stylish and timeless piece ideal for any interior.
