Danish Cabinetmaker Triangular Coffee Table With Tapered Tripod Legs, Denmark ca

About the Item

associate Danish furniture design with the country’s golden age, the mid-twentieth century. This simple, yet beautifully designed and executed side table shows why this is. This mid-century modern table combines aesthetics with modern functionality in line with the country’s design philosophy. The tabletop is triangular, resembling a guitar pick, which establishes the stylish look. The top is supported by three, slightly tapered legs that enhance its look. There is a clear concern for materiality melded with a desire for a Shaker-like clarity. Instead of ornamentation, the designer, and manufacturer emphasized the natural pattern of the material. Danish modern – despite its name – in many ways transcends the word ‘modern’. It is a style that can be incorporated successfully into contemporary and traditional interiors alike, lending itself to a timeless and universal appeal. Much of the country’s furniture, like this table, is rooted in the historical development of form, and is thus able to transcend time, incorporating seamlessly into today’s interiors. This table is ideal to complement many styles by adding organic charm to industrial materials such as metal. The contrast is appealing while the functionality of the table is utilized. The sizable veneered tabletop and the conical tripod legs are perfect to showcase anything that is placed on it.

  • Lívia Gorka Decorative Ceramic Bowl, Hungary ca 1960s
    By Livia Gorka
    Located in Budapest, HU
    Munkácsy 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...
