Rare Design Icon: Niels Gammelgaard 'Transit' Desk/Table + Chair (1985) – BKS Denmark
For the connoisseur of high-quality Danish design: an original 'Transit' table, designed in 1985 by the renowned designer Niels Gammelgaard (Pelikan Design) for Bent Krogh (BKS Denmark).
This model is a rarer and higher-quality alternative to Gammelgaard's well-known work for IKEA from the same period. Whereas the IKEA models were intended for the mass market, the Transit series was designed for the high-end project market, which is immediately reflected in the finish and choice of materials.
Features:
* Design: Postmodern, minimalist design with the characteristic chrome tension legs.
* Condition: In very good vintage condition. The chrome base shines beautifully and the tabletop is of heavy, durable quality.
* Authenticity: Features the original BKS Denmark label on the underside (see photo). * Use: Thanks to the large, sleek top, it is ideal for use as a minimalist desk or modern dining table.
* Dimensions: 149 cm L x 78 cm W x 69 cm H.
Why this table?
The 'Transit' from 1985 is a milestone in the collaboration between Gammelgaard and Bent Krogh. It is an architectural object that exudes both airiness and stability. A piece that retains its value and is rarely offered in this condition and with the label.
