Hans J. Wegner
CH008 COFFEE TABLE
A modern
take on nesting
Hans J. Wegner’s characteristic lines come to the fore in the CH004 Nesting Tables, a functional and
space-saving design with an organic expression designed in 1952. The nesting tables represents
Wegner’s ability to design furniture that harmonises with its surroundings while staying relevant for
the future. Rounded, tapered legs, mortise joints, and subtle curves on the front and rear support
exemplify Wegner’s distinctive style, and the scale of each table top and frame is adapted to create a
harmonious whole.
The CH008 Coffee Table, designed in 1954, is a fine example of Hans J. Wegner’s preference for
simple, clear, and interesting solutions. The coffee table is a round table top on a wood frame with three
detachable, tapered legs. To support the table top, and as a link between the top and the legs, the table
has a solid triangular frame, the corners of which are cut off at an angle at the edge of the table top.
The rounding of the legs gives the coffee table an elegant, almost floating appearance.
