Hans-Agne Jakobsson side table
This is a very rare and early side or coffee table designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson, produced by his company in Åhus, Sweden, during the 1950s. It is a distinguished example of mid-century Scandinavian design, showcasing a refined use of materials and a timeless, elegant form.
The table features a striking contrast between the dark, matte grey stone top and the warm, rich tones of the teak wood base. The stone top offers a sophisticated, sleek surface, while the teak legs are sharply tapered, enhancing the modernist appeal of the piece. The design is minimalist yet functional, typical of mid-century Scandinavian aesthetics, focusing on simple geometric forms that are both visually appealing and practical.
In terms of condition, the table is in good vintage condition, with typical signs of usage and a beautiful, natural patina that enhances its character. There may be minor wear consistent with age, but it remains structurally sound and retains its aesthetic integrity, offering a perfect balance of form and function for contemporary settings.
Hans-Agne Jakobsson was a Swedish designer known for his innovative contributions to Scandinavian furniture design, particularly during the mid-20th century. His work often combined traditional craftsmanship with modernist principles, and he was widely recognized for his elegant use of wood and stone in furniture design.
This table was produced in collaboration with his company in Åhus, Sweden.
