johannes andersen was one of the prominent danish furniture designers who helped shape the golden age of scandinavian design during the 1950s and 1960s. His furniture is often characterized by organic shapes, soft lines and carefully crafted details. Andersen had an outstanding ability to give even the most functional furniture a light, elegant and sculptural expression.

the coffee table is a very fine example of andersen's design language. The edge of the table top and the sides of the legs are elegantly beveled, which emphasizes the clean lines and gives the table a beautiful lightness. The long and slender legs are placed far out towards the edge of the table and elegantly taper downwards. The placement creates a well-balanced silhouette and reinforces the table's timeless expression.

the connection between the legs and the table top is very finely executed and shows the great attention to detail that characterizes johannes andersen's design. The transitions are soft and elaborate, and the construction thus becomes an important part of the table's aesthetics. The round table top has a lively grain and a warm tone that beautifully highlights the natural character of the teak.

c.f.c christensen, also known as cfc silkeborg, was a well-reputed danish furniture factory with operations in silkeborg. The factory was founded as early as the end of the 19th century and later became known for its high-quality furniture in teak and other noble woods. During the heyday of danish modernism, c.f.c christensen collaborated with several important designers, including johannes andersen, illum wikkelsø and henning korch. The furniture is still appreciated today for its fine craftsmanship, its high quality and its characteristic danish expression.
