Pair of coffee tables

Designed by Kaare Klint for Rud. Rasmussen

Denmark, 1950s

This refined pair of side tables presents the hallmark clarity of Scandinavian modern design. Executed in warm‑toned hardwood with smooth surfaces and subtly rounded edges, each table features a square top resting on four straight legs and a lower shelf that elevates the practicality of the piece. The proportions reflect Kaare Klint’s disciplined approach to form and function, while the craftsmanship bears the signature precision of Rud. Rasmussen’s Copenhagen workshop, active in collaboration with the designer from the 1920s onward.

With its minimal silhouette and functional lower shelf, this pair of tables exemplifies the elegant restraint of the Danish modern tradition. Their design allows them to integrate seamlessly into a variety of interiors — whether positioned beside a lounge chair, flanking a sofa in a living room, or used as bedside tables in a refined bedroom setting. The provenance of Kaare Klint and Rud. Rasmussen further enhances their appeal to discerning collectors and design‑conscious interiors alike.
