Attr. Rolf Middelboe for Tranekær Danish End-Grain Butcher Block Coffee Table

About the Item

Searching for a stunning statement piece to elevate and energize your sitting room? Look no further than this captivating Parsons-style cocktail table attributed to Rolf Middelboe for Tranekær Furniture. The table's top is a thick butcher-style slab crafted from end-cut blocks of solid pine, joined together in a mesmerizing patchwork of wood grain that blends seamlessly into the richly figured pine of the legs. This coffee table seamlessly fits into the broader context of Brutalist design, characterized by a richly tactile aesthetic which highlighted the bold, raw textures and the brash geometry of the organic world. This piece is reminiscent of the patchwork Parsons tables in burlwood and metal created by acclaimed designer Paul Evans - another prominent figure in the Brutalist movement. Much like Evans' iconic designs, this table challenges conventions and celebrates the tactile beauty of materials in a way that still feels bold and fresh, even today.
