Set of 3 Teak Nesting Tables by Arne Hovmand-Olsen, Mogens Kold, Denmark, 1960s

About the Item

Introducing a rare set of three nesting tables designed by the influential Arne Hovmand-Olsen. Designed and crafted in the early 1960's in Denmark, this exquisite set represents the archetypal tenets of Danish design with their minimalist lines, use of exceptional teak hardwoods and practical, space-saving functionality. Featuring intricate finger joinery, mesmerizing woodgrains and easy stow-away design this set is the epitome of functional art and arguably one of Hovmand-Olsen's most beloved designs. Hovmand-Olsen (1919-1989) was a Danish furniture designer who was active in the mid-20th century. He was born in Denmark and trained as a cabinetmaker before studying furniture design at the world famous Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. Hovmand-Olsen began his career as a furniture designer in the late 1940s, and quickly gained recognition for his innovative designs. His furniture was characterized by its clean lines, simplicity, and characteristic functionality. Hovmand-Olsen designed a wide range of furniture, including lounge chairs, tables, and cabinets, many of which are still produced in Denmark today. His most iconic designs include the "Model 56" armchair, the "Palisander" sideboard, and the "Propeller" stool. Hovmand-Olsen's designs were highly influential in the Scandinavian design movement, and his work was exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. Today, his furniture is highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts, and his legacy continues to inspire contemporary designers as well as the entire team at ABT Modern. Perfect for designers and collectors alike searching for an authentically vintage, Danish-made set of nesting tables this set is sure to make the perfect design accent to almost any space or design aesthetic from Mid-Century Modern to Contemporary to Minimalism. With their unmatched practicality, use of solid Burmese teak and intricate joinery this set is as visually stunning as it is functional. Make them yours today before they're gone forever. ---Dimensions--- Large Table: Width - 23" x Depth - 16" x Height - 19.75" Medium Table: Width - 21.5" x Depth - 14.5" x Height - 18.5" Small Table: Width - 20.25" x Depth - 13.75" x Height - 17" Condition Details: This versatile set of nesting tables designed by Arne Hovmand-Olsen has recently undergone a complete restoration process and we love the results.

Set of Three Nesting Tables by Poul H. Poulsen for Gangsø Møbler, Denmark, 1970s
By Poul Hermann Poulsen
Located in Deland, FL
Add a touch of Danish sophistication to your living space with this exquisite set of three nesting tables, designed by Poul H. Poulsen for Gangsø Møbler, crafted in Denmark circa 1970s. Constructed from rich teak wood, these tables exemplify the elegance and functionality of Danish modern design. The table tops feature a stunning tile inlay with an organic color palette of beige, black, and brown tones. The intricate tile design, reminiscent of an artistic grid pattern adorned with a sequence of concentric circles, adds a unique and refined flair to each piece. Poul Poulsen was a Danish designer, painter and ceramics artisan and worked extensively with Gangsø Møbler in Faarvang, Denmark designing ceramic tiles. Previously, he was the proprietor of Faaborg Pottery (1976–1978) at the city square in Faaborg, Denmark, where he designed pottery. It later evolved into the design of ceramics, tiles, carvings, pictures, oil paintings, canvas prints, drawings and photo posters. These versatile nesting tables offer both beauty and practicality, seamlessly fitting into any mid-century modern or contemporary interior. Whether used together or separately, they provide ample surface space while maintaining a compact footprint. This set is a perfect blend of form and function, showcasing the timeless craftsmanship of Poul H. Poulsen. ---Dimensions--- Width: 21.75 in / 55.25 cm Depth: 18.5 in / 46.99 cm Height: 19 in / 48.26 cm This artfully designed and crafted set of nesting tables by Poul H. Poulsen for Gangsø Møbler are in 100% original, vintage condition and have aged to perfection! The mix of solid and veneered Burmese teak does show some minor signs of vintage wear such as minor veneer bubbling around the edges of the ceramic tiles as well as minor surface scratches and one small gouge (all of which can be seen in the detail photos provided). The ceramic tiles show no cracks, chips of other damage whatsoever. The three tables measure as follows; LG Table - W - 21.75" x D - 15.75" x H - 19" MED Table - W - 18.75" x D - 15.75" x H - 18" SM Table...
