Henning Nørgaard coffee table

This rare coffee table, designed by Henning Nørgaard and produced by Komfort in Denmark during the 1960s, exemplifies the Scandinavian modernist emphasis on materiality and structural clarity. The table features a circular glass top that imparts a light, open feel, resting above a geometric base crafted from richly grained rosewood. The warm tones and depth of the rosewood contrast elegantly with the transparent glass surface.

The base is composed of an interlocking framework of precisely joined wooden elements arranged in a symmetrical grid, ensuring both stability and a visually balanced form. Connection points are seamlessly integrated, reflecting the Danish tradition of meticulous woodworking. The glass top is supported by small, discreet mounts, allowing an unobstructed view of the base’s architectural design.

Henning Nørgaard was recognized for merging functional utility with minimalist elegance, and his collaboration with Komfort highlights the exceptional craftsmanship typical of Danish furniture makers during the mid-century era. The combination of premium materials and thoughtful construction contributes to the timeless appeal of this piece.

The coffee table is in excellent condition, with the rosewood frame well-preserved and the glass surface clean and intact. It measures approximately 110 centimeters in diameter and 42 centimeters in height, or 43.3 by 16.5 inches.
