Title: Mid-Century Danish Modern Coffee Table after Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Cassina in Teak Wood w/ Smoked Glass, c. 1970s
About: This elegant Mid Century Modern coffee table draws direct inspiration from the iconic designs of Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Cassina. Crafted in rich teak wood, the table showcases the refined minimalism and masterful material use that defined the husband-and-wife design duo’s work for the legendary Italian manufacturer.
The design features a clean, architectural teak frame with softly rounded edges and beautifully grained surfaces that highlight the natural warmth of the wood. Resting atop the frame is the original smoked glass top, which adds a sophisticated, smoky transparency while creating a striking contrast with the rich teak below. The low, horizontal profile and precise proportions give the table a light yet grounded presence, making it both visually striking and highly functional.
Afra & Tobia Scarpa were among the most influential Italian designers of the 1960s and 1970s. Their collaborations with Cassina produced timeless pieces celebrated for their perfect balance of form, function, and luxurious materials. This coffee table captures the essence of their aesthetic—elegant restraint paired with exceptional craftsmanship.
A versatile centerpiece, this teak and smoked glass coffee table works beautifully in living rooms, lounges, or open-concept spaces, complementing a wide range of mid-century modern, Scandinavian, or contemporary interiors.
A refined example of 1970s design in the manner of Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Cassina.

Condition Details: This iconic coffee table is in 100% original, vintage condition and has aged to perfection! The solid teak base is in overall very good shape showing only minor surface scratches, small nicks and pressure dings throughout (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos provided) but showing no gouges or stains whatsoever and the variegate woodgrains are absolutely stunning in natural light.
As purists we strive to leave our pieces in as original condition as possible. However we do offer full carpentry and restoration services and can restore these tables at cost. If you're interested in these restoration services please reach out prior to checkout to discuss options and pricing.
The glass top does show surface scratches (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos and natural light video provided) as well as a minor chip (again shown in the detail photos) but shows no cracks or other damage whatsoever and all four pegs and peg holes are intact and functional creating the perfect seeding top stability.
This architecturally stunning table is functional, structurally sound and ready for a literal lifetime more of use. Please view all photos for details on this table's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
