Henning Nørgaard side tables
This rare pair of side tables, designed by Henning Nørgaard and produced by Komfort in Denmark during the 1960s, exemplifies a refined balance between structure and transparency within the Scandinavian modern tradition. The minimalist frames are crafted from rosewood, showcasing deep tones and the natural grain of the wood through precise joinery and a squared profile that reinforces the architectural quality of the design.
The interlocking rosewood beams create an open and lightweight base, supporting a floating smoked glass tabletop. The glass tops are slightly recessed and held securely by small supports, enhancing the illusion that they hover above the frame. This thoughtful integration of materials highlights Nørgaard’s focus on clean structural compositions and material interplay.
Henning Nørgaard’s designs are noted for their precision and subtlety, aligning well with Komfort’s reputation for high craftsmanship and attention to detail. Komfort was a prominent Danish manufacturer producing modernist furniture that emphasized simplicity, functionality, and quality during the mid-20th century.
Both tables remain in good vintage condition, showing only minor signs of wear consistent with age. They measure 50 cm in width, 50 cm in depth, and 38 cm in height (19.7 x 19.7 x 15 inches), making them versatile and elegant additions to any interior.
