DESCRIPTION
This square Coffee Table is a part of the Colonial Series together with the Colonial Chair OW149, sofa OW149-2 and footrest OW149-F.
The Colonial Serie reflects Wanscher ́s fascination with furniture design from 18th century England and bygone Colonial times.
The classic table ́s simple, timeless design supports the Colonial Series visual expression and provides a natural focal point for the entire serie.
The coffee table is available with a walnut or oak frame with a veneer tabletop in either soap, lacquer or oil finish.
In oak, the table is available in a black painted finish.
THE DESIGNER
Ole Wanscher (1903-1985), was born in Copenhagen in 1903 and was an architect and professor of architecture with furniture designs as his specialty. He came to shape Danish furniture, both as an active designer and as a master teacher. His furniture designs are now considered to be modern classics - sophisticated and functional with an exquisite attention to detail.
