another france and son/ finn jul design I cannot find based on dimensions  

That is the European height for a coffee table.

60"L x 23.5"W x 21"H is model #531/53.

Nice table.

thank you for the insight Leif and cdsilva.

Just to clarify, the length dimension of my table is 69 inches. Does that still apply to the 531/53?

thanks again,

wouldn't you be better off describing the table in cm? I have to imagine that the official literature calls out the dimensions in cm or mm, and any mention of inches is a conversion. Any time there is a conversion, there is the opportunity for mistakes and rounding issues.

I know that it is not always the case, but it has to be the majority of furniture build in Denmark.

So would the 53 in the model name, represent the height?

You're on the right track. The "53" suffix refers to the variable height of the table. 531 is the fixed plan shape number. Here you go ...

Edit: Zephyr beat me to the punch by a few seconds.

Double edit: just realized my first post had a typo. I meant to type 69 instead of 60. Sorry for the confusion,

So so helpful cdsilva and just great to see the catalog page filled with the dimensions and photos! I have two of the end tables as well so great to see that info there as well.

I was surprised when I was looking around that there were so many different dimensions ; some the same length but not height etc. I did not realize these tables were made in different heights as well as lengths and widths so thanks Leif and the catalog really spells it out. Cool to understand the nature of the numbering system as well. Anyway, thanks very very much.

Zephyr, I live in Canada and we are fully metric but as I searched for similar examples of my table, dimensions were listed in standard so I just figured I would stick with that. I do believe you are right universal measurement would be awesome.. Interesting though that the catalog also presents metric secondarily 🙂

Snow and wind here today...very abrupt end to a really lovely autumn.

Thank you all for taking the time to share

sorry, one more thing...is there a date on that catalog cdsilva? thanks again,

L

There is no date on the catalog. Based on the pieces within, I believe it would be around 1959. It is a France and Son catalog, not France and Daverkosen.

I had a pair of 533s recently, and was never able to pinpoint a design date for them.
