Norwegian Solid Pine Coffee Table by Krogenæs, Norway, 1960s

About the Item

This impressive Norwegian table is defined by its natural material, seamless joinery and distinctive, but soft ornamentation on the bottom. The Norwegian manufacturer, Krogenæs is well-known for their high-quality pine furniture. This coffee table is a great example with its simple and robust design. Albeit the table is made of solid wood, the pine’s light colour and the slender lines create an airy feeling, while also retaining an overall impression of strength and durability. This is enhanced by the careful mixture of the tapered legs and the Asian-inspired Scandinavian-style joinery that uses nothing, but the wood itself. This is an expression of cultural exchange between traditional Scandinavian materials and traditional Asian craftsman techniques. Marked by pale colours, natural materials and lean furniture, the Scandinavian aesthetic was largely a response to the region’s short days and long winters, which called for bright, practical interiors. While Scandinavian pieces are generally free of ornamentation, this table features a horizontal stretcher that serves a dual purpose, namely structural stability and an aesthetic role. This table doesn’t depend on its details, rather, it is just as arresting from afar as from a proximity. The joinery and woodworking reveal the quality craftsmanship of the experts at Krogenæs. The most charming thing about this Norwegian table however, is that it has classic elements, and there is so much history there, but it lends itself easily to a modern interior.
