Description
Beautiful coffee table by the Danish designer Johannes Andersen from 1958.
Typical of Andersen's designs is an organic design language, combined with the highest level of craftsmanship. Flowing contours and rounded corners are particularly characteristic of Andersen's work. This is also evident in the "Smile" coffee table, which is among the designer's most famous pieces. Few details of Johannes Andersen's life are known. Born in 1903 in Aarhus, Denmark, the young Andersen initially trained as a cabinetmaker. In the 1930s, Johannes Andersen opened his own studio. Here he created designs for Trensum, CFC Silkeborg, OD Møbler, Bramin, and Uldum Møbelfabrik. The designer is said to have continued working in his studio well into old age. He died in Aarhus in 1991.
Johannes Andersen is considered today to be "The King of Danish Tables".
