Andersen and manufactured by Artex in Denmark during the 1960s, features a sculptural round teak top with a subtle lip edge and a tapered pedestal stem supported by a tripod base.

Crafted entirely from solid teak, it showcases beautiful grain patterns and a warm, original patina developed over decades of careful use. The underside is clearly marked "Made in Denmark by Artex," confirming its authenticity. Measuring 17.5 inches in height and 14.25 inches in diameter, this petite piece is perfect as an occasional table beside a lounge chair, sofa, or bed—ideal for holding a lamp, book, or drink. It embodies the minimalist elegance and organic forms of Scandinavian design, with smooth joinery and timeless craftsmanship.

This table has been family-owned since 1980, when it was purchased from International Design Center in Minneapolis for a newly built lake home. It has never been restored, but remains in excellent vintage condition with no scratches, dents, or structural issues—only the natural patina from gentle use. It was occasionally maintained with teak oil to preserve its luster. A rare, well-preserved example ready for a new home. See less
