A teak and woven cane coffee table, danish manufacture, Andreas Tuck, design by Hans Wegner, 1950s
The clean, organic lines of Scandinavian furniture have left an indelible mark on the history of 20th-century design. The use of finely finished wood that highlights its natural grain, along with raw materials such as simple woven cane, are not merely aesthetic choices—they represent an entire lifestyle philosophy, closely tied to how people live in and relate to their homes.
This coffee table, designed by Hans Wegner—one of the founding fathers of this design ethos—is a fine example. Crafted from teak wood, it stands out for its refined detailing and organic inspiration. Particularly notable is the lower shelf, made from delicately handwoven bamboo cane, which adds lightness and texture to the piece.
Here, we see how materials sourced from distant countries are reinterpreted through a Nordic lens, as if they were native to the region—transformed by the clarity and precision of design. The table is completely original in all its parts and bears the branded mark of the renowned Danish manufacturer Andreas Tuck, a company that played a pivotal role in the international success of Scandinavian modernism. This specific model appears in period catalogues under the reference AT-10.
