Carl Hansen & Søn – CH011 – Coffee Table

The CH011 coffee table was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1954. Its four tapered legs tilt slightly outwards towards the two sides of the table, giving the solid top an elegant lightness, which is only further highlighted by the rounding of the legs towards the floor. The tabletop’s simple expression and natural wood surface with the grain running lengthwise makes it more adaptable for different uses. CH011 is intended primarily as a coffee table but, with its narrow width, it also works well as a side. As a link between the top and the legs, there is a solid wooden frame formed like a wide letter H. This has two purposes: It stabilizes the solid wood tabletop; and with its angled cuts at the free ends of the H, it ensures that the detachable legs are slanted. The softly rounded profiles of the rectangular table give it a welcoming look that fits particularly well with many of Wegner’s wooden chairs. The CH011 coffee table is crafted in oak and, with 3 possible leg lengths, the table is available in three heights. CH011 is in the same series as CH008, the round coffee table.
