Vintage coffee table in teak and beech, Scandinavian style – Scandinavia, circa 1960

Coffee table made of teak and beech, manufactured in Scandinavia, possibly Denmark or Sweden, around 1960 according to Scandinavian design codes. A vintage piece that sits between a centre coffee table and a side table for a sofa, representative of Danish Modern in the fifties and sixties. In the post-war period, Danish design became a continental reference: structural lightness, softened edges, light woods, and visible construction solutions. It features a veneered teak top, bordered by a fine raised beech moulding that defines the silhouette and softens the edges. The lower structure, made of solid beech, consists of two pairs of angled legs joined by crossbars, with visible wooden dowels at each joint — a characteristic construction detail of Mid-Century Modern. The junction between the top and the apron is also resolved with through dowels, without visible screws. Details. Dimensions: Width: 120 cm Depth: 60 cm Height: 56 cm.
