OW449 Colonial Coffee Table

Description

The OW449 Colonial Coffee Table clearly communicates modern style and clever utility to classic objects. The square veneer tabletop and framing design reflect that of the other furniture in the Colonial Series with precise detailing, raised corners, and a geometric aesthetic. The understated, carefully thought-through shape of the table enhances contemporary settings with an elegant simplicity.
The Colonial Coffee Table is available in walnut or oak, and the latter is also available in a black-painted version.
Apart from the OW449 Colonial Coffee Table, the Colonial Series also includes the OW149 Colonial Chair, the OW149-2 Colonial Sofa and the OW149F Colonial Footstool.

The Colonial collection was designed by Ole Wanscher. Born in 1903, Wanscher studied and eventually worked under Kaare Klint prior to his independent design career. Notably, Wanscher’s best known works were designed between the late 1940s and early 1960s, a few years earlier than many other renowned Scandinavian designers. Alongside his career designing furniture, Wanscher also taught at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, helping to shape the work of a later generation. Whereas some of his designs are quite reserved and arguably more traditional with references to pre-modern movements, others can be highly sculptural, delicate, and/or definitively modern.
