Artifort T122 coffee table by Kho Liang Ie – Original smoked glass – 1970s

Designed by Kho Liang Ie for Artifort in the 1970s, this generous T122 coffee table perfectly illustrates the understated elegance of Dutch modernist design. With its refined proportions, gently rounded aluminium joints, and floating smoked glass top, the table is both understated and highly architectural. This larger version measuring 100 × 100 cm is considerably less common than the smaller models and offers a generous surface while maintaining the light appearance characteristic of Kho Liang Ie's work. The table retains its original smoked glass top, an increasingly rare feature, beautifully complemented by the original anodised aluminium frame. Together, they create a timeless combination that effortlessly integrates into both modern and vintage interiors. This example is structurally sound, stable, and presents very well for its age. Naturally, the aluminium shows slight scratches and signs of use that one might expect from a well-preserved piece of over fifty years. These marks contribute to the authenticity of the table without compromising its appearance. A beautifully understated design that demonstrates why Kho Liang Ie remains one of the prominent figures in post-war Dutch furniture design. Designer: Kho Liang Ie. Manufacturer: Artifort.
