The understated and elegant three-legged design has since become one of his most popular pieces. Built with superb craftsmanship with FSC™-certified oak, this table has the structure & elements of an unforgettable design. See excerpt below for official description by CHS:

“An elegant and functional coffee table.
The CH008 coffee table is a fine example of Hans J. Wegner’s preference for simple, clear and interesting solutions.

CH008 consists of a round tabletop on a frame with three detachable, tapered legs. To support the tabletop, and as a link between the top and the legs, the table has a solid triangular frame, the corners of which are cut off at an angle at the edge of the tabletop. The legs are screwed into these surfaces to achieve their slanted outward direction. The rounding of the legs gives the coffee table an elegant and almost floating look.

The simple and elegant CH008 coffee table, crafted from solid oak, works especially well with other well-known pieces by Wegner, particularly his lounge chairs… With only 3 legs, the coffee table is also well suited for slightly uneven floors.”
