Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen for France & Søn FD 515 coffee table

This is the iconic FD 515 coffee table from the 1950s, a masterpiece of Danish design created by Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen for the prestigious manufacturer France & Daverkosen. The design is characterised by an elegant, elongated shape and the distinctive conical teak legs, which give a sense of lightness and refinement. A beautiful detail is the floating, woven magazine shelf, supported by slender, shiny brass brackets. This combination of materials—teak, wickerwork and brass—is typical of the Mid-Century Modern era and exudes understated, organic luxury. The designers Hvidt & Mølgaard-Nielsen were known for their functional and aesthetically pleasing furniture. Today, Danish design, and this model in particular, is still highly sought after and relevant. The beautiful lines and timeless aesthetics fit seamlessly into both modern and classic interiors, making it a sustainable and versatile investment in heritage and style. The condition is very good, especially considering its age and intended use, with no deep scratches or disturbing rings, recently fully checked and now ready for immediate use.
