Designed in 1954, the understated Carl Hansen & Son CH008 Coffee Table adds an elegant touch to your living spaces.
The three-legged design is a timeless classic from designer Hans J. Wegner, one of his most enduring and popular pieces. The three legs make the coffee table particularly well-suited to slightly uneven floors, lending it an effortless versatility. The gently tapering legs, triangular frame and round tabletop are all constructed from solid wood, subtly linking the table to other pieces from Wegner, particularly his stylish lounge chairs.
With his love of natural materials and his deep understanding of the need for furniture to be functional as well as beautiful, Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) made mid-century Danish design popular on an international scale. He began his career as a cabinetmaker in 1931 and subsequently entered the Copenhagen School of Arts & Crafts. After receiving his architectural degree in 1938, he worked as a designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Muller's architectural office before establishing his own office in 1943.
