The KK66870 Coffee Table was designed in 1930 by Kaare Klint – one of the founding fathers of
Danish furniture design, who influenced generations with his mathematically based functionalism. The
coffee table exemplifies Kaare Klint’s refined and detailed designs. Meticulous in its proportions and
craftsmanship, he created a characterful table based on the need to serve as a banquet table with
space for bottles and drinking glasses. With its soft and tactile expression, it features angled legs with
vertical cut-outs, which are interrupted by the shelf and continue under the table top.
The beauty and organic lines of this functional ML10097 Egyptian Table do justice to its complex origin
of intricate study and foreign lands. Mogens Lassen first exhibited this round coffee table, inspired
by folding stands found in Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild
Exhibition in 1940. The elegant table easily collapses for storage with the release of a small brass sliding
latch beneath the table top – a flexible design that exemplifies the functionalism inherent in classic
furniture types.
