Søren Georg Jensen Teak Coffee Table for Kubus, Denmark 1960s
About the Item
This Danish mid-century modern teak coffee table was designed by the Danish designer, Søren Georg Jensen and produced by Kubus. The design is sculpturally distinctive with intertwining legs that interact with each other in an artistic way, dominating the overall impression.
Besides the legs’ structure, the main design element is the teak veneered top with an amazing sunburst design. A sunburst is a design or figure commonly used in architectural ornaments and design patterns; it consists of rays or "beams" radiating out from a central point in the manner of sunbeams. Thanks in great part to an emphasis on wood, this table has avoided associations with cold industrialization and machine aesthetics of the era. European, especially Scandinavian designers’ predilection for curvilinear shapes and certain woods, often teak, is evident in this coffee table’s sinuous circular top and solid wood body. With its distinctive structure, this table epitomizes the era’s designers’ research for new systems of joinery, in which the material and the design would be the lead factors in achieving stability, durability, and of course, an aesthetically pleasing outcome. Søren Georg Jensen (4 October 1917 – 20 September 1982) was a Danish silversmith and sculptor. Son of the noted silversmith Georg Jensen, he was the artistic director of the Georg Jensen Silversmithy from 1962 to 1974. From the beginning of the 1950s, Jensen adopted a Naturalistic approach which became increasingly Abstract that can be clearly traced in this gorgeous table as well. Like Jensen's sculptural works that often consist of interlocking stones that are each independently worked, this table model is similarly constructed with impeccable craftsmanship and design quality.
The use of the sizeable pieces of teak wood with a beautiful grain, gives this table a natural, elemental feel. The visible joints on the legs are also wonderful details and very typical for the work of cabinetmakers who gave wooden pieces even more personality.

- Lívia Gorka Decorative Ceramic Bowl, Hungary ca 1960sBy Livia GorkaLocated in Budapest, HUMunkácsy Mihály Prize-winning Hungarian ceramicist, worthy artist, and daughter of Géza Gorka, Gorka Lívia is one of the most renowned Hungarian ceramists. Her present work is a highly distinctive piece even if measured against her own exceptional repertoire. In 1947, Lívia Gorka passed her master's exam in pottery. Her master was his father, Géza Gorka. As an independent, self-employed artist, se worked in the Gorka workshop in Verőce until 1959, and had created in her own studio after that. The source of her art has always been nature, and as such, her typical objects (if we can discuss typical at all in her case) are large, asymmetrical vessels, idols, fish, birds, and stones. Gorka preferred creating unique objects and to think in series and groups of objects. She worked with high-fired, custom-made materials such as stone, oxide clay glazes, and often combined clay with metal. The colours of her works have a strong plastic effect and are generally quite restrained. This handmade piece reflects her minimalistic and timeless language of forms that appears in every inch of this bowl that is in the field between art, design, and handicraft. The colours are spectacular, the black glazed outside harbours a medley of shapes and colours on the inside. This glazed, geometrically decorated piece has an unusual, modern shape with a hollow opening on top. The bright orange line traces the shape to the hollow opening towards the top and articulates the unusual angle at which the bowl stands. Lívia Gorka was able to step out of her father's shadow and create her own style with her ceramics. A true artist who always worked with craft techniques, she also developed her own technique for making the glaze, so her works, like this bowl, always represent a recognizable, unique world of shapes and colours. Gorka was a master of these subtleties that established her one-of-a-kind visual language that is still coveted not just in her native Hungary, but all around the world among ceramic enthusiasts and collectors. Thanks to this, it can easily be placed in both a vintage or contemporary interior and is sure to stand out from its surroundings. About the designer: Gorka Lívia (Nógrádverőce March 5, 1925 – Diszel, August 4, 2011) Mihály Munkácsy Prize-winning Hungarian ceramicist, a distinguished artist. Daughter of Géza Gorka. She was born in Nógrádverőce to Géza Gorka and Irén Kovács. She received her professional and artistic training in her father's workshop. She got used to serious work when he was six or eight years old, as she worked in his father's workshop during school breaks...Category
