Cherry wood coffee table with shelf, Scandinavia, 1960s

A small coffee table manufactured in Scandinavia in the 1960s. It is made of cherry wood. This wood is highly attractive, hard yet resilient, and resistant to mechanical stress.
The table features a handy woven shelf. Its compact size is an advantage in smaller rooms, where functionality is of great importance. Turned legs give it a sense of lightness. It is a simple form that references the design ethos of the Mid-Century Modern era.

The table remains in its original vintage condition. It has age-related marks and a natural patina. Scratches, discolouration and signs of previous repairs are visible.
