Originally conceived by Nanna Ditzel in 1962 and reintroduced by Fredericia, the Trisse Dining Table reflects her talent for turning everyday furniture into something quietly unexpected. Defined by sculptural simplicity and an instinctive sense of balance, the piece embodies Ditzel’s design philosophy, where function follows curiosity, creating a timeless presence that feels both playful and refined.
Made in Denmark from FSC®-certified solid oak, this compact dining table showcases the warmth and character of natural timber in a choice of oiled, soaped or smoked finishes. Its clean construction, turned base and beautifully resolved proportions allow the dining table to sit effortlessly within contemporary and classic interiors alike, creating an inviting setting where quality craftsmanship, conversation and daily rituals naturally come together.
With her postmodernist attitude and rebellion against tradition, it is easy to understand how Nanna Ditzel (1923-2005) became a leading figure in the renewal of Danish design in the 1990's, well after her 70th birthday.
Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Nanna Ditzel originally trained as a cabinet maker before studying at the School of Arts and Crafts and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Inspired by the challenges of new materials and techniques, Nanna was a pioneer in the fields of fiberglass, wickerwork and foam rubber, and in various disciplines such as cabinet making, jewellery, tableware, and textiles. Nanna Ditzel designed the world’s most renowned furniture textile "Hallingdal" for Kvadrat.
Nanna often began with a subjective starting point, which was contrary to specific problems to be solved. She had the incredible gift of transforming her artistic dreams into very functional and purposeful designs.
