A classic, extraordinarily beautiful, yet unpretentious wooden coffee table, created in the 50s by the acclaimed Danish furniture designer Arne Hovmand-Olsen. The design of the tabletop was inspired by the shape of a surfboard, lending the table an innate lightness that makes it perfect for any modern interior. The coffee table is also available with an elegant solid wood and French rattan shelf, adding an extra dimension to this iconic design, which was referred to from its earliest days as the ‘Surfboard’.

Arne Hovmand-Olsen
Arne Hovmand-Olsen is a famous Danish furniture designer from the mid 20th century. He was born into an agricultural family but showed a keen interest in drawing from an early age.

Upon completion of his apprenticeship, Arne joined a furniture design school in Aarhus to fulfil his dream of designing the furniture he produced.
