Jens Quistgaard nesting tables
This set of nesting tables was designed by Jens Harald Quistgaard and produced by Nissen Langå in Denmark in 1964. The design is a fine example of mid-century Scandinavian craftsmanship, emphasizing both functionality and organic form through the use of high-quality materials.
Crafted from rosewood, the tables display rich grain patterns with a deep, warm tone. The largest table includes an integrated tray top with elegantly curved edges and practical cut-out handles on either side, combining utility with aesthetic appeal. The smaller tables nest neatly underneath the largest, offering versatile use and efficient storage. The slender, tapered legs contribute to a lightweight appearance while ensuring stability.
Jens Harald Quistgaard was a prominent Danish designer known for minimalist yet sculptural designs, often incorporating natural materials and organic shapes. Nissen Langå, the manufacturer, was recognized for its precision craftsmanship and commitment to material quality.
The dimensions of the largest table are 80 cm wide, 40 cm deep, and 51.5 cm high (31.5 x 15.7 x 20.3 inches). The set remains in good vintage condition, exhibiting a well-preserved patina that enhances its timeless appeal.
