Danish Rectangular Pine Coffee Table, Denmark, ca 1970s

About the Item

Most of the stunning minimalist designs from the turn of the century to the 1970s, termed "mid-century", captured the imagination of the world, especially the work of Danish architect-designers, who set the high bars for design. Danish designers’ ideal was to create furniture with a restrained aesthetic. They believed that furniture should create a sense of tranquillity and have a modest appearance that encourages people to live their lives unpretentiously. These designers and cabinetmakers were acclaimed for their masterful sense of materials and proportions, and for their ability to create beautiful and distinctive furniture all in an attempt to create aesthetic, clear designs that were in accordance with Scandinavian ideals. In this coffee table the horizontal and vertical lines and surfaces are emphasized with clear edges simple joinery. The absence of ornamentation is also in service of enhancing the organic, simple look that defined Danish design of the era. The pine is refined yet rustic thanks to the natural grain and pattern of the wood. Mid-century Danish designers and craftsmen believed that furniture should be shorn of aesthetic detail and be an amalgam of form and function. This coffee table, while shorn of decoration but not aesthetic details, is a beautiful example of this mindset and the collaboration of designers and master craftsmen.

  • Roland Wilhelmsson “Kvadrat” Coffee Table, Sweden 1970s
    By Roland Wilhelmsson
    Located in Utrecht, NL
    Designed by Roland Wilhelmsson, this “Kvadrat” table is from the era when Swedish design and culture started attracting design-conscious international buyers on a large scale. The model’s design is dated to 1972, and this particular table was manufactured in Huskvarna, where the manufactory still operates, for more than four generations now. Swedish furniture and interior design culture went through dramatic changes during the 1970s. The effects of the late 1960s’ rebellious view of design, production and consumption had an impact in the form of freer furnishings and resource-efficient furniture in simpler materials. In the mid-1970s, rustic pine furniture often in oversized dimensions - such as this table - suddenly became the highest fashion. Therefore, the local and resource-efficient craft received a renaissance. This “Kvadrat” coffee table...
