Round Teak Coffee Table by Søren Georg Jensen, Denmark 1960s

Danish pieces like this coffee table showcase balance with a classic, timeless design. With a clear statement of simplicity and an emphasis on material quality, this table is a great example of “Danish Modern” design. The base is made of solid wood, yet gives a lightweight and airy impression. The large top surface shows off the beautiful pattern of the wood.

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 the use of wood, this table has avoided associations with cold industrialisation and machine aesthetics of the era. European (and especially Scandinavian) designers’ predilection for curvilinear shapes and certain woods - often teak - is evident in this coffee table’s circular top and solid wood body. The use of teak veneer with a beautiful grain further gives this table a natural, elemental feel.

Countering the shape of the top, the legs and feet have a simple yet beautiful structure with gently rounded edges. The feet are connected at a point at the bottom, showcasing the seamless joinery. The sleek look resulting from the soft lines, functional design and expert craftsmanship make this table a perfect and stylish addition to any dining area.
