$2,200.00

A charming, Mid-Century Modern coffee table constructed of solid wood in a warm, honey hue. The square surface is composed of individual slats, each exhibiting a unique tone and intricate grain pattern. Side and center beams connect the four rectangular legs, giving the piece a minimalistic look while providing stability. Attributed to Danish furniture designer Kurt Østervig. Unmarked. Denmark, 1960s.
In the 1930s, Kurt Ejvind Østervig made a career shift from working as a shipbuilding engineer to furniture design, influenced by his passion for woodworking. Østervig's career as a furniture designer began at E. Knudsen’s architectural design studio in Odense. Østervig later opened his first independent studio in the 1940s as a freelance furniture designer, working exclusively in modern design. In the following decades, he collaborated with many well known 20th Century Scandinavian furniture manufactures.
Østervig won awards at the Milan Triennale in both 1953 and 1960. One of Østervig’s designs was also selected for an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in the 1960s. Østervig’s versatility within Danish furniture design earned him significant recognition.
