“Hongisto” pine coffee table by Ilmari Tapiovaara for Laukaan Puu, Finland, 1960s

A square “Hongisto” coffee table designed by Ilmari Tapiovaara and produced by Laukaan Puu in Finland during the 1960s. The design is characterised by its low proportions, clear construction and warm pine surface. The broad plank top and exposed corner joints give the table a strong architectural quality, while the natural grain of the pine adds warmth and texture. A restrained and functional example of Finnish modern design. Condition Very good condition, with minimal signs of wear consistent with age and use.
