Product description
Solid mahogany tripod side table.
Three legs, zero compromises.
Danish style, presumably 1960s.
Built like a machine.
Designed like a thought.
This is not a side table. This is a tripod statement.
🪵 The top: ⌀ 50 cm, solid mahogany (sapele), glued from multiple strips of solid wood.
Super flat and smooth, with a beautiful patina.
The bevelled edge gives the top allure and a strikingly light character.
No veneer. No MDF. No excuses.
🔩 The legs: three tapered legs in solid mahogany, with two flat sides.
Each leg is set in a recess in the block and secured with two heavy Allen bolts, screwed into threaded metal cylinders.
Sleek, detachable and always stable.
⬡ The heart: a beautifully crafted, hexagonal block in solid mahogany, multi-layered to prevent warping and movement, and attached to the top with six sturdy wood screws.
This is where everything comes together.
✦ The style: honest construction, visible craftsmanship, a silhouette that the Danish furniture-making tradition would be proud of.

REASONING FOR DETERMINATION
Conclusion: Style and execution match the Danish furniture-making tradition (Klint school).
Maker unknown, unmarked.
Danish origin is probable, but not confirmed.
Characteristics pointing to Denmark:
1. 🪵 Solid mahogany (sapele): the classic wood of Danish furniture makers, especially until approx. 1960.
2. ✦ Bevelled top: the chamfer makes the top appear thinner and lighter, a characteristic Scandinavian detail.
3. ✦ Tapered legs with two flat sides: slender and shaped, according to the Danish functional design language.
4. 🔩 Construction as design: legs set in recesses in the block, secured with two heavy Allen bolts in threaded metal cylinders.
The connection is visible and honestly made.
5. 🪵 One type of wood throughout the entire piece of furniture: block, top and legs from the same solid wood, a consistent choice of material.
6. ⬡ Multi-layered block: constructed to limit movement and warping, a sign of technically well-thought-out construction.
7. 🔩 Separate assembly: block with six wood screws to the top, legs with Allen bolts to the block. Fully detachable and repairable.
8. ✦ Super flat, smooth and solid glued top: made from strips of solid mahogany, without veneer or sheet material.
9. ✦ Beautiful patina on the top: a natural warmth and depth that belongs to solid mahogany and develops over the years.
10. ✦ Execution and condition: precise recesses and seams, mechanically as new.
- Parcel shipping (where the three legs are disassembled. These are very easy to reattach by screwing them back on with 3x2 original bolts)
