This is the iconic FD 515 coffee table from the 1950s, a masterpiece of Danish design created by Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen for the prestigious manufacturer France & Daverkosen.
The design is characterized by an elegant, elongated shape and distinctive conical teak legs, which convey a sense of lightness and refinement. A beautiful detail is the floating, woven magazine shelf, supported by slender, gleaming brass brackets. This combination of materials—teak, wicker, and brass—is typical of the Mid-Century Modern era and exudes an understated, organic luxury.
Designers Hvidt & Mølgaard-Nielsen were known for their functional and aesthetically pleasing furniture. Today, Danish design, and this model in particular, remains highly sought after and contemporary. The beautiful lines and timeless aesthetics fit seamlessly into both modern and classic interiors, making it a durable and versatile investment in heritage and style.
The condition is very good, especially considering its age and intended use; there are no deep streaks or unsightly marks. It was recently fully inspected and is therefore ready for immediate use.
