The OW449 Colonial Coffee Table was designed by Ole Wanscher and clearly communicates his desire to lend modern style and clever utility to classic objects. The square veneer tabletop and framing design reflect that of the other furniture in the Colonial Series with precise detailing, raised corners, and a geometric aesthetic. The understated, carefully thought-through shape of the table enhances contemporary settings with an elegant simplicity. The Colonial Coffee Table is available in walnut or oak, and the latter is also available in a black-painted version. Apart from the OW449 Colonial Coffee Table, the Colonial Series also includes the OW149 Colonial Chair, the OW149-2 Colonial Sofa and the OW149F Colonial Footstool.

By Ole Wanscher

Ole Wanscher (1903-1985), was born in Copenhagen in 1903 and was an architect and professor of architecture with furniture designs as his specialty. He came to shape Danish furniture, both as an active designer and as a master teacher. His furniture designs are now considered to be modern classics - sophisticated and functional with an exquisite attention to detail. Construction and form was of the utmost importance to Ole Wanscher, treating furniture design as if it was a branch of architecture. He studied under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and also worked for the master himself from 1924-1927, before becoming an independent achitect specializing in furniture design. He later followed in Kaare Klint's footsteps as a professor at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts with a master in furniture design.
