Johannes Andersen was a Danish furniture designer who started out as a skilled cabinet maker. When Andersen opened his own architectural workshop in the 1930s, Danish furniture had become highly regarded internationally. He designed various pieces for the Swedish furniture producer Trensum, among them coffee tables in rosewood and teak. Andersen experienced a great boom when the Danish working class began to thrive during the late 1950s and 1960s. His most sought-after designs include Capri sofa, chairs and coffee table series.
