Poul Nørreklit attrib. coffee table

This is a rare and low coffee table attributed to Danish designer Poul Nørreklit, produced by Selectform in Denmark during the 1960s. The table features a minimalist architectural design consisting of a rectangular clear glass top resting on a tubular chrome-plated steel frame. The construction is visibly engineered with precision, highlighting clean, orthogonal joints and discreet attachment points. The glass top is resting on top of the frame via four cylindrical metal supports that extend upward to retain the pane in place, allowing it to visually float above the base structure.

The frame is composed of polished chrome tubing, giving the table an airy, almost dematerialized presence. The finish exhibits areas of patina and slight pitting consistent with vintage chrome. The glass top is thick and chamfered at the edges, with minor surface scratches and small nicks as expected for its age, but it remains fully intact and structurally sound.

Poul Nørreklit is known for his contributions to Danish modernism with a focus on geometrically refined and materially expressive furniture. His designs often explored the intersection of transparency, contrast, and modularity, frequently incorporating glass, acrylic, and chrome in compositions that emphasized clarity of form. This table’s understated elegance and structural clarity reflect the period’s fascination with optical lightness and material honesty.

Selectform was a Danish manufacturer known for high-quality modern furnishings during the mid-century era, often producing pieces by forward-looking designers who embraced international influences and industrial techniques.

The condition is good vintage, with visible signs of wear and light patina on the chrome surface, along with minor abrasions on the glass typical for its use and age.

The dimensions are 112 cm in width, 52 cm in depth, and 39 cm in height, equivalent to approximately 44.1 inches wide, 20.5 inches deep, and 15.4 inches high.
