A rare and highly distinctive Danish desk or dining table in solid Oregon pine, dating from the 1960s. This piece is a private prototype, acquired directly from the home of a Danish architect, and is believed to be the only example produced.

The table is expertly crafted using traditional glueless joinery, allowing it to be easily disassembled and reassembled—an elegant and practical solution that highlights the architectonic thinking behind the design. Its strict, minimalist form and refined proportions show a strong affinity with the reductive aesthetics associated with Donald Judd, where structure, material, and function are allowed to speak for themselves.

The substantial tabletop and clean construction emphasize the natural beauty of the Oregon pine, making the table equally suitable as a large writing desk, conference table, or dining table. A unique and sculptural piece of Scandinavian modernism with clear crossover into minimalist art and design.
