Vintage coffee table, Danish Design with V-Shaped Legs, Kurt Østervig 1950s

A rare and sculptural coffee table designed by renowned Danish master Kurt Østervig in the 1950s. This exceptional piece captures the zenith of Mid-Century Modern innovation, characterized by its dynamic form and masterful use of solid teak. The table stands elegantly on four unique, triangular “tip-toe” legs, a signature Østervig motif that lends a sense of both strength and delicate poise. The design is ingeniously functional, incorporating a second-tier shelf crafted from cane, which adds texture and practical display space.

The raised-edge teak top is the table’s crowning detail, beautifully showcasing Østervig’s iconic and meticulous V-shaped joinery, a hallmark of his precise, architectural approach to furniture design. This table is offered in superb original condition, maintaining a wonderful patina that speaks to its age and care. It presents only with minor, honest imperfections consistent with its vintage, all of which are clearly documented in the photographs for complete transparency.

With a remarkably low profile of just 30cm (11.81 inches) to the shelf, this table is a versatile and striking focal point. It is a true collector’s piece, embodying the timeless elegance and inventive spirit of Danish modernism.
