The E021 Embrace Lounge Table was designed by Austrian design trio EOOS for Carl Hansen & Søn
in 2019. The Embrace Lounge Table is available as a low coffee table and a slightly taller and slimmer
side table. Both versions highlight the light expression of the Embrace Series, where the circular
wooden table tops seem to float on stabilising steel structures inspired by kites blowing in the wind.
Kaare Klint never tried to invent new furniture categories but strove to
improve and refine existing archetypes. One such piece, the KK44860
Side Table, was designed in 1932 based on the need to store and
display the radio - an integral piece of popular modern technology
used in homes at the time. A side table with a reduced expression
of clean, straight lines without decorative elements testifies to Kaare
Klint’s pragmatic approach to design, where the function is essential,
and the wood serves as decoration. The side table was designed
in 1932 and presented at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild
Furniture Exhibition in 1933, together with Klint’s world-renowned Safari
Chair and Addition Sofa, which have a clear kinship with the table, seen
in the exacting geometry and unique qualities of the materials.
