The piece embodies the Scandinavian ideal of combining artistic expression with everyday functionality, resulting in a design that is both practical and visually captivating.

Crafted from solid wengé, the table features a robust architectural frame distinguished by clean lines, balanced proportions, and exceptional attention to detail. The dark richness of the wood is elegantly complemented by refined brass-capped feet, adding a subtle touch of warmth and sophistication.

The tabletop is composed of individually hand-glazed ceramic tiles created by Tue Poulsen. Arranged in a carefully considered geometric composition, the tiles display a rich spectrum of earthy browns, ochres, and muted greens. Variations in glaze, texture, and coloration make every tile unique, while a signed tile bearing the inscription “Tue” highlights the artistic provenance of the work.

More than a coffee table, this piece represents a successful collaboration between ceramic art and fine cabinetmaking, making it a highly collectible example of mid-century Danish design. This piece has an attribution mark,
