About the Item
A large coffee table designed by Illum Wikkelsø and crafted in teak from the 1960s is a prime example of Danish mid-century modern design that seamlessly combines functionality and aesthetics.
Illum Wikkelsø was a Danish furniture designer known for his elegant and functional designs. His creations often embraced clean lines, quality materials, and practical features, making them highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts.
The use of teak, a popular wood choice in mid-century Danish furniture, lends the table a warm and rich appearance. Teak's durability and beautiful grain patterns make it a favored material for crafting furniture that stands the test of time.
The addition of a large drawer is a functional element that speaks to the table's versatility. This storage solution allows you to keep items like magazines, remote controls, or other essentials neatly organized and out of sight, contributing to a clutter-free living space.
The size of the coffee table makes it a central piece in a seating area, providing ample surface area for placing drinks, books, and decorative items. Its minimalist design and attention to craftsmanship make it a versatile addition to various interior styles.
The fact that the table is from the 1960s adds a touch of vintage charm and historical context to its appeal. It reflects the design sensibilities of that era, characterized by a harmonious blend of form and function.
In summary, the large coffee table in teak designed by Illum Wikkelsø and from the 1960s is a testament to Danish mid-century modern design principles. Its combination of quality materials, functional design, and elegant aesthetics makes it a functional centerpiece that not only enhances the visual appeal of a room but also offers practical storage solutions.

Illum Wikkelsø
The work of furniture designer Illum Wikkelsø wholly embodies the spirit of Scandinavian modernism. With their organic forms and wealth of angles inspired by the Danish countryside, his vintage lounge chairs, sofas and other seating pieces offer ergonomic comfort and lasting visual appeal.
Born Kristian Illum Wikkelsø and raised in a town near Faaborg, Denmark, the designer grew up around carpentry and cabinetmaking. He apprenticed with a cabinetmaker in his teens and enrolled in classes at the Technical Society School in Copenhagen as well as the Danish School of Arts & Crafts. At the latter, Wikkelsø studied under Kaare Klint, an architect and designer widely recognized as the father of modern Danish furniture.
After completing his studies, Wikkelsø went on to work with famed Danish architect and furniture maker Jacob Kjær. After a time with Kjær, he moved on. He went to work for designer and architect Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen at Hvidt & Mølgaard, a firm established by Mølgaard-Nielsen — Wikkelsø’s former instructor at the Technical Society School — and Peter Hvidt that yielded more than 250 designs and lasted over 30 years.
In 1954, Wikkelsø opened his own design studio in Aarhus, Denmark. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, he made quite a name for himself, with designs that were new and innovative to the industry at the time. He created furniture for Holger Christiansen and secured commissions from the Danish government. While he’s likely best known today for his inviting teak and leather lounge chairs or slender rosewood dining chairs, some of Wikkelsø’s 1960s-era lounge chairs merged Danish craftsmanship and Pop art with their unconventionally shaped chrome frames and vibrantly colored upholstery.
Wikkelsø passed away in 1999, but collectors around the world continue to prize his outstanding designs.
