6900 AX' Two-Toned Wood Coffee Table by Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard Nielsen for Fritz Hansen, Denmark 1950s

$1,200.00

A rare '6900 AX' rectangular coffee table designed by Danish architects Peter Hvidt & Orla Mølgaard Nielsen for Fritz Hansen in the 1950s. This Scandinavian Modern coffee table is constructed of beautifully contrasting teak and beech wood with inlaid detailing along the four tapered legs. Charming, curved arches extend from the legs and support the rounded, rectangular top. Denmark, 1950s.

Hvidt & Mølgaard was a Copenhagen-based, Danish design and architectural firm that began in 1944. Founded by Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen, the company was influential in the expansion of Danish furniture design during the Mid 20th Century. During this time, the pair created designs for many well-known manufacturers, including Fritz Hansen, France & Søn, and Søborg Møbelfabrik.

In 1950, the pair designed the AX Chair, which was the first Danish chair crafted with both a seat and back made of curved laminated wood. The AX Chair was eventually accompanied by the AX Table, which was exhibited in 1951 as part of the "Good Design" show sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
