A refined vintage teak coffee table, often attributed to Louis van Teeffelen for Wébé, made in the Netherlands circa 1950s. The design is especially appealing for its reversible top: one side finished in warm teak veneer, the other in formica, making it both elegant and practical in everyday use. Beneath the top sits an integrated lower shelf, while the sculpted side rails and tapered legs give the piece that light, architectural quality so often associated with Dutch mid-century design.
What makes this model particularly attractive is the balance between function and form. The teak side offers a warmer, more furniture-led look, while the formica side is useful as a more durable everyday surface. That reversible concept was a smart and common mid-century solution, especially for homes that wanted practicality without sacrificing design. The lower shelf adds room for books or magazines, and the open sculpted apron gives the table more visual character than a standard rectangular coffee table. It sits especially well in Dutch modern, mid-century, Scandinavian, and more minimal contemporary interiors.
This example has a rich warm teak tone and a nicely balanced silhouette, with the lower shelf adding both function and rhythm to the design. It is a versatile size that works well as a central coffee table without feeling visually heavy.
