About the Item
This exceptional "Egyptian Table" represents a remarkable example of mid-century Danish design at its finest, created by the renowned architect and furniture designer Mogens Lassen and expertly crafted by the esteemed A.J. Iversen workshop during the golden age of Scandinavian modernism in the 1940s-50s. The piece exemplifies the sophisticated simplicity and masterful craftsmanship that defined this pivotal era in design history.
Mogens Lassen, a pioneering figure in Danish modern furniture and brother to the equally famous designer Flemming Lassen, was instrumental in developing the aesthetic principles that would come to define Scandinavian design worldwide. His "Egyptian Table" showcases his remarkable ability to blend historical references with contemporary functionality, drawing inspiration from ancient Egyptian forms while maintaining the clean, geometric lines that characterized the modernist movement. The distinctive design reflects Lassen's deep understanding of both classical proportions and modern sensibilities, creating a piece that serves as both functional furniture and sculptural art.
The table's construction features rich, warm teak wood beautifully complemented by elegant brass accents and hardware, demonstrating the exceptional quality of materials and attention to detail for which A.J. Iversen was renowned. This prestigious Danish furniture workshop was known for producing high-quality pieces for discerning clients and represented the pinnacle of Danish craftsmanship during the mid-century period. The combination of teak's natural beauty with the lustrous brass details creates a striking visual contrast that enhances the piece's architectural character and timeless appeal.
The geometric forms and refined proportions of this table reflect the influence of ancient Egyptian aesthetics filtered through a distinctly Scandinavian sensibility, resulting in a piece that is both historically informed and thoroughly modern. This rare table represents an important piece of design history and would make a distinguished addition to any serious collection of mid-century modern furniture, offering both functional beauty and significant cultural value as an example of Denmark's extraordinary contribution to 20th-century design.
