Description
We are pleased to present this super rare Ole Wanscher Danish teak surfboard coffee table. Designed by Wanscher for Poul Jeppesens Mobelfabrik in Denmark. You may have seen the similar, more common table by his colleague Grete Jalk. The designers were contemporaries working for JP Mobelfabrik. The surfboard coffee table is called so because it resembles the form. The table appears aerodynamic with sleek elevated lips along the front and back edge diminishing as they chase the horizon. The silhouette tapers at the far left and right, fading to the vanishing point. This is truly masterful design, employing ancient Greek ideals of beauty, lent to a minimalist modern aesthetic. The solid teak design is a testament to quality. The Poul Jeppesens Mobelfabrik “PJ” emblem, Ole Wanscher’s name and the Danish Control emblem can all be found beneath the table top.
We also have a pair of Grete Jalk side tables that would pair nicely with this coffee table (sold separately).
65” Long x 23.25” Deep x 17” High
Condition: Table looks like it has been restored in recent years. A few minor marks can be found on the table top. The legs have some scratches.
