Classic coffee table in wood with an extraordinarily beautiful design, created in the 50s by the renowned Danish furniture designer Arne Hovmand-Olsen. The table top's design is inspired by the shape of a surfboard and gives the coffee table an inherent lightness and a very special beauty that makes it slide effortlessly into a modern interior. The length of the table top is a gift when there are many people on the sofa, while the understated and elegant sway at the ends really comes into its own when the Surfboard is viewed in profile.
Choose from several types of wood and surface treatments with an exquisite finish. The coffee table is made in teak and walnut with a clear reference to the 50s as well as oak with a modern feel.

Arne Hovmand-Olsen
Denmark,1919-1989
Arne was born and raised in Kirkeby Sogn in the middle of Denmark. He was the eldest of five children, and though from a farming family he realized at an early age that he wanted a different career. He had always liked to draw, and was then apprenticed to a cabinetmaker P. Olsen Sibast in 1938. After his apprenticeship, Arne dreamed of being able to design the furniture which he produced, and therefore enrolled in a technical school specializing in furniture design at Aarhus, in 1941. Once qualified, Arne started his own studio creating beautiful furniture, influenced by Scandinavian design and executed in a simple and light style. His furniture was sold in Denmark , but was mainly exported to the large overseas market, with the U. S. market being an avid consumer. His studio closed in the 1970's due to illness.
