Lounge furniture doesn't get more elegant than this rare and premium teak and rattan coffee table by Danish designer Hans Wegner. One of the key figures of Danish modern design, Wegner often worked with teak and incorporated materials like rattan to add depth and warmth to his pieces.
Clean lines, organic curves and a highly refined form are showcased in this perfectly proportioned Danish offering. We love the raised edges of the table top and the woven rattan shelf with its elegant space through the centre. This is a stunning piece with plenty of visual flair.
Each piece is checked and carefully hand restored at our Kingsland studio workshop. Our focus is preserving the character and patina of the design while ensuring it displays beautifully in a contemporary interior.

Hans Wegner trained as a cabinet maker before gaining his architectural degree in 1938. He then worked as a designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Moller's architectural office. In 1943 he went on to establish his own office, working from a studio in his house.
It was his collaboration with cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen that led to the creation of the well-crafted, genius designs which we have come to know so well. They presented their work at the Danish Cabinetmaker's show every year from 1941-66 and contributed to a worldwide recognition of Danish design.
Wegner had a deep respect for wood and an eye for detail, giving the 'modern' principles a softness. He constantly challenged the hard-lined steel aesthetic and embraced natural materials and organic form. His sculptural designs sprung firstly from a desire for comfort and then beauty. He also believed a chair should endure a life of more than 50 years. Many of his pieces are still manufactured today and enjoy great popularity and demand.
