For sale vintage, retro 50’s, 60’s side/ end /coffee table by Danish designer Peter Hvidt.

Peter Hvidt was born in Copenhagen in 1916. He trained as an architect and cabinet maker at the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. Shortly after graduating, he set up a design office with Orla Molgaard-Nielsen in 1944. Their company 'Hvidt & Mølgaard' was a pioneering force in Danish furniture design throughout the mid-century, creating furniture that was elegant, easy to mass-produce and economic to transport.
During their careers Hvidt and Molgaard-Nielsen designed over 250 pieces of furniture for Danish furniture companies such as Fritz Hansen, France & Son and Søborg Møbelfabrik. Today the duo's most iconic design is known as the 'AX' chair. It was exhibited in 1951 as part of the 'Good Design' show at MoMA. The chair was loved for it's refined form, robust construction and ability to easily flat pack.
‘Hvidt & Mølgaard‘ was co-run by Peter and Orla until 1975 when the pair retired. Their approach to design and production helped shape the golden era of Danish design. Today their designs are considered Scandinavian classics and pieces such as their storage units, day beds, and tables are highly sought after collectors pieces.

The two-tiered coffee table is made of solid teak and stands on tapered legs. The lower shelf has a caned section. The table is marked FF for France & Son as well as "made in Denmark".

Size of the coffee table (approximately):
Width: 28 inch (71cm)
Depth: 20.5 inch (52cm)
Height: 23 inch (59cm)
Height from floor to shelf: 15 inch (38cm)

This coffee table has been beautifully restored and re-oiled with Danish Oil. The canned shelf is a bit worn but still solid with no damages.
