GRETE JALK COFFEE TABLE
Harmonious use of material, form, and utility are all evident in this coffee table designed by female Danish designer, Grete Jalk. Here, she uses teak, a hardwood known for its durability and resistance to water, while adding elements of modularity. Jalk, famously known for her thoughtful use of clean and comfortable lines, bevels the table top to add volume to the overall rectangular shape. Her design answers to the user’s needs for storage, allowing the coffee table to serve more than one purpose.

We’ve taken Vladimir Kagan’s Crescent Chairs and have reupholstered them in mohair, pairing it beautifully with brass.

The playfulness of the designer is apparent in the chairs, though its texture and form.
