Holger Georg Jensen "Model 75" Teak Coffee Table for Kubus, Denmark 1960s
Price range 500-1500 EUR/USD
This “Model 75” Danish mid-century modern teak coffee table was designed by the Danish designer, Holger Georg Jensen and produced by Kubus. The design is sculpturally distinctive with intertwining legs that interact with each other in an artistic way, dominating the overall impression.
Besides the legs’ structure, the main design element is the teak veneered top with an amazing sunburst design. A sunburst is a design or figure commonly used in architectural ornaments and design patterns; it consists of rays or "beams" radiating out from a central point in the manner of sunbeams. Thanks in great part to an emphasis on wood, this table has avoided associations with cold industrialization and machine aesthetics of the era. European, especially Scandinavian designers’ predilection for curvilinear shapes and certain woods, often teak, is evident in this coffee table’s sinuous circular top and solid wood body. With its distinctive structure, this table epitomizes the era’s designers’ research for new systems of joinery, in which the material and the design would be the lead factors in achieving stability, durability, and of course, an aesthetically pleasing outcome. Holger Georg Jensen (1927 – 2001) was a prominent Danish furniture designer. His most famous design pieces were created in collaboration with the Danish manufacturer, Kubus with impeccable woodworking and joinery.A prime example is this “model 75” sculptural table model with a masterfully constructed teak structure, and joinery showcasing impeccable craftsmanship and design quality.
The use of the sizeable pieces of teak wood with beautiful grain gives this table a natural, elemental feel. The visible joints on the legs are also wonderful details and very typical for the work of cabinetmakers who gave wooden pieces even more personality.
