Magazine Side Table M6500 In Lacquered Oak By Jens Risom For Fredericia

Designed in 1949, the Magazine Table is a great example of Danish-American designer Jens Risom’s stylish and innovative approach to modern design. The dynamic side table with its iconic feature – the inbuilt shelf – is only finished when it is combined with a printed magazine, book, newspaper or perhaps a drinks card. Lacquer is slightly more sensitive than varnish. However, a lacquer sustains a more beautiful patina and you will not be able to see small scratches with the naked eye.Dimensions: Width : 40.5cm , Depth : 57.5cm , Height : 47cmWeight : 6.1kgDesign year : 1949DesignerJens Risom was a true talent and a pivotal player in the Danish Modernism movement, expecially his role introducing a Scandinavian sensibility to the American market.There he pursued a successful career designing an array of pieces which stemmed from functionality, imbued with a New York sense of style and savoir-faire.
