Johannes Andersen is quite a mystery. I can't find any info on him in my books. Though you could go to www.furnitureindex.dk and search for his work. Esp. his coffee table for CFC Silkeborg is very popular here in Denmark and usually cost around $500. He has made some nice chairs too. But otherwise his furniture are not costly at all.

Johannes Andersen
Hej,
Johannes andersen was closely associated with ULDUM møbel fabrik and designed several items for them. Mostly dining room sets.
Have a look at furniture index and search for uldum as the maker.

I have
I have a Johannes Andersen coffee table. It is sometimes referred to as the 'smile table'. He designed it for Silkeborg. It belonged to my grandmother, and I recieved it after her death. I posted a link below to the model of the table that I have.
I've tried to find info on Johannes Andersen before but have never really found much. I have a book of designers, and he is mentioned in there. However, they don't really say much about him *shrug*
