Title: Set of Three (3) Danish Modern Nesting Tables in Teak by Arne Hovmand-Olsen for Mogens Kold, Denmark, c. 1960's
About: Introducing a rare set of three nesting tables designed by the influential Arne Hovmand-Olsen. Designed and crafted in the early 1960's in Denmark, this exquisite set represents the archetypal tenets of Danish design with their minimalist lines, use of exceptional teak hardwoods and practical, space-saving functionality. Featuring intricate finger joinery, mesmerizing woodgrains and easy stow-away design this set is the epitome of functional art and arguably one of Hovmand-Olsen's most beloved designs.
Hovmand-Olsen (1919-1989) was a Danish furniture designer who was active in the mid-20th century. He was born in Denmark and trained as a cabinetmaker before studying furniture design at the world famous Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. Hovmand-Olsen began his career as a furniture designer in the late 1940s, and quickly gained recognition for his innovative designs. His furniture was characterized by its clean lines, simplicity, and characteristic functionality.
Hovmand-Olsen designed a wide range of furniture, including lounge chairs, tables, and cabinets, many of which are still produced in Denmark today. His most iconic designs include the "Model 56" armchair, the "Palisander" sideboard, and the "Propeller" stool. Hovmand-Olsen's designs were highly influential in the Scandinavian design movement, and his work was exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. Today, his furniture is highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts, and his legacy continues to inspire contemporary designers as well as the entire team at ABT Modern.
Perfect for designers and collectors alike searching for an authentically vintage, Danish-made set of nesting tables this set is sure to make the perfect design accent to almost any space or design aesthetic from Mid-Century Modern to Contemporary to Minimalism. With their unmatched practicality, use of solid Burmese teak and intricate joinery this set is as visually stunning as it is functional. Make them yours today before they're gone forever.
