X Coffee Table -HM13- Lacquered Oak & Walnut, by Hvidt & Mølgaard for &Tradition

About the Item

Originally designed in 1959, the X table exemplifies the pinnacle of Hvidt & Mølgaard’s work as creative collaborators. Revived from family archives, the table draws its unique design from ancient Egyptian folding chairs. Based on the same principles as the X chair, for which it was originally created to complement, the X table showcases the same sloping frame and discerning use of the material at hand. Dimensions W: 120 cm / 47 in D: 61 cm / 24 in H: 47 cm / 19 in Weight 12.5 kg Product Material Form-pressed veneer and powder-coated steel. Production Process The table top is made from veneer sheets that are form-pressed around a solid wood insert. It is then milled into shape and lacquered. The stainless steel frame is powder-coated. Designers Peter Hvidt (1916-1986) and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen (1907-1993) were pioneers of Danish mid-century design and the founders of Copenhagen-based firm Hvidt & Mølgaard. Renowned for the simplicity of their works, the duo established a simple and precise aesthetic designing countless pieces of furniture over the years, many of which became icons of the era. The success of the AX chair (crafted in 1950) was a seminal moment for the pair. Not only did its smooth, tightly controlled silhouette secure their stance as leaders of Danish modernism, but the use of laminated wood allowed the chair to be produced on a mass scale and exported internationally. This forward-thinking approach to industrialized production paved the way for a new movement that drew upon classical craftsmanship techniques to make affordable, beautifully crafted home furnishings. Both Hvidt and Mølgaard-Nielsen boasted superior technical skills. Mølgaard-Nielsen studied furniture design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under the tutelage of Kaare Klint, while Hvidt gained knowledge of traditional craftsmanship during his time studying cabinetry at the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. Today, their work can be found exhibited at MoMA, Victoria and Albert Museum, Melbourne’s National Gallery, and Copenhagen’s Design Museum
